Appellant, GERONIMO
EDELMIRO HERNANDEZ, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 92nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause
number C-2395-97-A.  The
clerk=s record was filed on March 22, 2002.  No reporter=s record was filed.   Appellant=s brief was due on April 22, 2002. To date, no appellate brief has been received.
When the appellant has
failed to file a brief in the time prescribed, the Court may dismiss the appeal
for want of prosecution, unless the appellant reasonably explains the failure
and the appellee is not significantly injured by the appellant=s failure to timely
file a brief.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
On September 16,
2002,  notice was given to all parties
that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). 
Appellant was given ten days to explain why the cause should not be
dismissed for failure to file a brief. 
To date, no response has been received.
The Court, having
examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to file a
proper appellate brief, this Court=s notice, and
appellant=s failure to respond,
is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of
prosecution.  The appeal is hereby
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
