TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-95-00197-CV
Michael Dexter Scott, Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Public Safety, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 126TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 93-07972, HONORABLE JOSEPH H. HART, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
Appellant Michael Dexter Scott appeals from a take-nothing judgment granted on December 8, 1994, in favor of appellee Texas Department of Public Safety. We will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
The Clerk of this Court filed the transcript on March 31, 1995. The due date for the statement of facts, if any, was April 7, 1995. After this Court granted appellant's motion for an extension of time to file the statement of facts, the statement of facts was due June 6, 1995. Tex. R. App. P. 54(a), (c). No statement of facts or motion for extension was timely received. Since no statement of facts was timely filed, appellant's brief was due on May 1, 1995. See Tex. R. App. P. 74(k). To date, Scott has tendered neither a brief nor a motion for an extension of time within which to file a brief. (1) See Tex. R. App. P. 74(n).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 60(a)(2), 74(l)(1); Sentinel Pipe Servs., Inc. v. Tandy Computer Leasing, 825 S.W.2d 212, 212 (Tex. App.--Fort Worth 1992, no writ); Dickson v. Dickson, 541 S.W.2d 895, 896 (Tex. Civ. App.--Austin 1976, writ dism'd w.o.j.).

P. 74(l)(1); see Tex. R. App. P. 60(a)(2). Scott's counsel has not responded.
