Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, ROGER D. SAENZ , perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 347th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 00-4547-H . The clerk's record was filed on April 18, 2001 . No reporter's record was filed . Appellant's brief was due on May 18, 2001 . To date, no appellate brief has been received. Additionally, appellant has failed to pay the $125.00 filing fee in this cause.
When the appellant has failed to file a brief in the time prescribed, the Court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution, unless the appellant reasonably explains the failure and the appellee is not significantly injured by the appellant's failure to timely file a brief. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
On May 24, 2001 , notice was given to all parties that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(c). Appellant was given ten days to explain why the cause should not be dismissed for failure to file a brief and failure to pay the $125.00 filing fee. To date, no response has been received.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to file a proper appellate brief and failure to pay the $125.00 filing fee, this Court's notice, and appellant's failure to respond, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
