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

      This matter is before the Court on the appellant’s failure to file a brief or reasonably

explain the failure to do so. The appellant's brief in the above cause was due on June 9,

2020. On August 25, 2020, 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 the letter, appellant reasonably explained the failure and the appellee was not

significantly injured by the appellant's failure to timely file a brief.

       The Clerk’s office called appellant’s counsel and was informed the case had

settled. To date, no brief, response to correspondence, nor motion regarding a settlement,

if any, have been received by the Court.

       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).

                                                                    JAIME TIJERINA
                                                                    Justice

Delivered and filed the
7th day of January, 2021.
