             MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT
                                    ------------

      On May 9, 2018, we notified appellant that her brief had not been filed as

required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex. R. App. P.

38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution

unless appellant filed with the court within ten days an appellant's brief and a

motion reasonably explaining the failure to file an appellant’s brief and the need

for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have not

received any response.

      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
      Because appellant has failed to file a brief after having been given an

opportunity to provide a reasonable explanation for the failure, we dismiss the

appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

      Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
