IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,

AT AUSTIN

 

NO. 3-92-049-CV

STEVEN HOWARD PALMER,

	APPELLANT

vs.

STATE OF TEXAS AND THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,
ON BEHALF OF THE TEXAS EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION

	APPELLEES

 

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 91-4294, HONORABLE HUME COFER, JUDGE

 

PER CURIAM

	This is a dismissal for want of prosecution.
	Generally, an appellant must file his brief within thirty days after the filing of the
transcript and statement of facts, if any.  Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(k) (Pamph. 1992).  If the
appellant fails to file his brief within the prescribed time, the appellate court may dismiss the
appeal for want of prosecution, unless the appellant shows a reasonable explanation for failing to
file the brief and the appellee has not suffered material injury.  Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(l)(1)
(Pamph. 1992).
	The transcript in this cause was filed on January 29, 1992.  Accordingly,
appellant's brief was due thirty days later, on February 28, 1992.  Appellant has not filed his
brief.  Moreover, appellant has not filed a motion for extension of time showing a reasonable
explanation for his omission.  See Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(n) (Pamph. 1992).  Accordingly, we
dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.  See Dickson v. Dickson, 541 S.W.2d 895 (Tex. Civ.
App. 1976, writ dism'd w.o.j.).
