                                            PER CURIAM
         This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
         Appellant’s brief was due on June 22, 2015. However, Appellant did not file a brief on
that date. On June 23, 2015, this court notified Appellant that her brief was past due. Appellant
was warned that the appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution unless, on or before July 3,
2015, she filed a motion for extension of time to file the brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1),
42.3(c). Appellant also was informed that the motion must include a reasonable explanation for
her failure to timely file her brief and show that Appellee has not suffered significant injury
thereby. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1).
         To date, Appellant has not filed a brief or a motion for extension of time. Accordingly,
we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
Opinion delivered July 8, 2015.

this appeal be, and the same is, hereby dismissed for want of prosecution; and that this decision
be certified to the court below for observance.
