TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00012-CV
Darrell J. Harper, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 419TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-GN-12-002702, HONORABLE STEPHEN YELENOSKY, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Darrell J. Harper filed his notice of appeal in the trial court on
December 28, 2012. On June 6, 2013, the Clerk of this Court sent notice to appellant that his brief
was due on May 17, 2013, and was overdue, and that if he failed to file a brief, this Court would
dismiss his appeal for want of prosecution unless he reasonably explained the failure and appellee
would not be significantly injured by that failure. The Clerk also notified appellant that his appeal
would be dismissed for want of prosecution if he did not provide a satisfactory response to this Court
by June 17, 2013. To date, appellant has not filed a brief or a motion for extension of time to file
his brief. Appellant filed a response with this Court on June 13, 2013, but he failed to address why
he has not filed a brief or a motion for extension of time to file a brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
