       The appellant’s brief in the above cause was due on July 30, 2018. On August

and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution under Texas Rule of

Court’s 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.

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