DAVID EUGENE GORE, Appellant
V.
FELICIA GORE, Appellee
Hardin County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 46,707
David Eugene Gore perfected appeal but failed to prosecute it. We dismissed the appeal for want of prosecution on February 28, 2008, but reinstated the appeal on motion of the appellant after he paid the filing fee and paid for the clerk's record. See Gore v. Gore, No. 09-07-526 CV, 2008 WL 517263 (Tex. App.--Beaumont Feb. 28, 2008), withdrawn, 2008 WL 1734902 (Tex. App.--Beaumont Mar. 27, 2008, order). We granted a final extension to June 15, 2008, for filing the appellant's brief, but the brief has not been filed. On July 8, 2008, we notified the parties that the appeal would be advanced without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.9.
A dismissal for want of prosecution is appropriate when the appellant fails to file a brief assigning error for appellate review. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Costs are assessed against the appellant.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
