DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           Appellant, Matrix Engineering, Ltd., appealed the trial court’s judgment in Trial Court

No. 2007-CI-11493. Appellant’s brief was due October 31, 2011. Because appellant failed to file

its brief we ordered appellant to file, on or before December 12, 2011, its appellant’s brief and a

written response reasonably explaining its failure to timely file the brief. We advised appellant

that if it failed to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we would dismiss the

appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c)
                                                                                     04-11-00365-CV

(court may dismiss appeal because appellant has failed to comply with a court order within the

time provided). Appellant has not filed a brief or the written response ordered by the court.

       We therefore order this appeal dismissed. We further order that appellee recover his

costs in this appeal from appellant.
