1Justice Dori Contreras, formerly Dori Contreras Garza. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 45.101 et seq. (West,
Westlaw through 2015 R.S.).
filed and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution under Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless within ten days from the date of receipt of

this letter, appellant reasonably explained the failure and the appellee was not

significantly injured by the appellant’s failure to timely file a brief. To date, no response

has been received from appellant. Appellee has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal.

       Appellant has failed to either reasonably explain the failure to file a brief, file a

motion for extension of time to file the brief, or file the brief. Accordingly, appellee’s

motion to dismiss is GRANTED and the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF

PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), (c).

                                                         PER CURIAM
