DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           An appellate court is authorized to dismiss an appeal for want of prosecution when the

appellant fails to file her brief by the deadline and gives no reasonable explanation for such failure.

TEX. R. APP. P. 38(a)(1). On October 11, 2018, this court ordered appellant to file her appellant’s

brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) her failure to timely file the brief and (2)

why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant’s failure to timely file a brief. Appellant has

failed to comply with or respond to this order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38(a)(1); 42.3(c).

                                                   PER CURIAM
