IN THE MATTER OF K. Z. B.,



APPELLANT





FROM THE COUNTY COURT OF FAYETTE COUNTY

NO. 1082, HONORABLE EDWARD F. JANECKA, JUDGE PRESIDING





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 April 28, 1992. Appellant has not filed a statement of facts. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due thirty days after the filing of the transcript, on May 28, 1992. Appellant has not filed a brief. Moreover, appellant has not filed a motion for extension of time showing a reasonable explanation for its 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.).
