MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam



The appellant's brief in the above cause was due on July 25, 2007. To date, said brief has not been filed. On August 6, 2007, the Court notified appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant reasonably explained its failure to file the brief and the appellees were not significantly injured by its failure to do so. In response to this notice, appellant moved for an extension of time to file its brief, which was granted until September 10, 2007. Appellant thereafter failed to file a brief, and, on September 24, 2007, the court again notified appellant that its brief was late and further notified appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. Appellant has failed to respond to this notice and has further failed to pay required fees associated with its motion for extension of time.

Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
