                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Perkes
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Perkes

       This is an appeal under Chapter 14 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code

from a final judgment dismissing appellant’s claim with prejudice for failure to comply with

Chapter 14 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM.

CODE ANN. §§ 14.001–.014. The appellant’s brief in this case was originally due on
September 6, 2019. Appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file his brief and this

Court granted appellant until October 7, 2019, to file the brief.

       On October 22, 2019, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the brief had

not been timely filed and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution

under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless within ten days from the date

of receipt of this letter, appellant reasonably explained the failure and the appellee was

not significantly injured by the appellant's failure to timely file a brief.   To date, no

response has been received from appellant.

       Appellant has failed to either reasonably explain his failure to file a brief, file a

motion for extension of time to file his brief, or file his brief. Accordingly, the appeal is

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).

                                                                GREGORY T. PERKES
                                                                Justice

Delivered and filed the
12th day of December, 2019.
