PER CURIAM

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Because appellant Robert Schwartz has failed to file his brief, we will dismiss the
appeal for want of prosecution.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).</P>

<P>	The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on July 15, 1999.  By
letter dated September 9, 1999, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that appellant's brief
was overdue and that the appeal was subject to dismissal unless appellant tendered a motion for
extension of time reasonably explaining the failure to file a brief.  On September 20, 1999,
appellant's attorney submitted an insufficient motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief,
omitting the filing fee and the certificate of conference.  <EM>Id. </EM>5, 10.1(a)(5).  By letters dated
September 28, 1999, and October 19, 1999, the Clerk of this Court notified all parties of these
omissions, adding that this appeal would be subject to dismissal unless these deficiencies were
corrected by October 29, 1999.  Thus far appellant has failed to respond.</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
<EM>Id.</EM> 42.3(b).</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices B. A. Smith and Yeakel</P>

<P>Dismissed for Want of Prosecution</P>
