Memorandum Opinion
Per Curiam
                                                                  

This
cause is before the Court on appellees’ motion to dismiss appeal for want of
prosecution.  The appellant's brief in the above cause was due on February 18,
2011.  On March 3, 2011, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the
brief had not been timely 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.  
Appellant
has failed to either reasonably explain his failure to file a brief, file a
motion for extension of time to file his brief, or file his brief. 
Accordingly, appellees’ 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).

CURIAM
