TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-99-00810-CV


Bernard Kenneth Meyers, Appellant

v.



State of Texas and Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, Appellees






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 250TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 95-12310, HONORABLE F. SCOTT McCOWN, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

Because appellant has failed to file a brief, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on January 10, 2000. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due to be filed in this Court on or before February 9, 2000. See id. 38.6(a). By letter dated March 20, 2000, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless appellant filed a brief by April 4, 2000, or tendered a motion for extension of time reasonably explaining the failure to do so. Thus far, appellant has submitted neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time to file a brief.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See id. 42.3(b), (c).
