DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           Appellant’s brief was originally due December 27, 2013. On December 27, 2013, appellant

filed a one-page pro se letter that appeared to be an appellate brief. However, because appellant’s

letter/brief did not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1, on January 10, 2014, this

court struck appellant’s pro se letter/brief and ordered appellant to file an amended brief that

complies with Rule 38.1 no later than February 6, 2014. Our order cautioned appellant that if an

appellate brief that complied with Rule 38.1 was not filed by February 6, 2014, this appeal would

be dismissed for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1).
                                                                                  04-13-00618-CV

       On February 6, 2014, appellant requested an extension of time in which to file the amended

brief, which was granted until February 24, 2014. Our order, dated February 11, 2014, again

cautioned appellant that if an appellate brief that complied with Rule 38.1 was not filed by

February 24, 2014, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P.

38.8(a)(1). An amended brief has not been filed. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution.
