                           Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Lewis
                                   Opinion by Justice Fillmore
       Before the Court is appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellee contends the
appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant did not file a response to the
motion. By postcard notice dated September 16, 2013, the Court informed appellant that her
brief was past due. We instructed appellant to file a brief along with an extension motion within
ten days and cautioned her that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the appeal. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1).
       As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a brief. Accordingly, we grant appellee’s
motion and dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1) & 42.3(b).
