                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
Appellant, Stevie Venters, perfected his appeal on April 3, 2018. The clerk’s record was filed on
July 10 and Venters’s brief was due on or before August 9. On August 14, this Court notified
Venters that his brief was past due. We further notified Venters that the appeal may be dismissed
for want of prosecution unless a motion for extension of time, containing a reasonable explanation
for the failure to file a brief and showing that Appellee has not suffered material injury thereby, is
filed no later than August 24.
         The August 24 deadline has passed and Venters did not file a brief or a motion for extension
of time. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
Opinion delivered September 10, 2018.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
