Texas Department of Public Safety, Appellant
v.
Eric K. Dumas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY, 119TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. B-99-1270-C, HONORABLE BARBARA L. WALTHER, JUDGE PRESIDING
Because appellant Texas Department of Public Safety 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).The record in this cause was filed in this Court on November 21, 2000. On March 13, 2001, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that its brief was overdue and requested that appellant submit a motion reasonably explaining the failure to file a timely brief by March 23, 2001. Thus far, appellant has not responded to this Court's request.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
