                  No. 08-11-00263-CV

 

                         Appeal from

 

County Court at Law No. 5

 

of El Paso County, Texas

 

(TC # 2008TX354)

 

                                                     MEMORANDUM OPINION

 

This appeal is before the Court on its own motion for determination of whether it should be dismissed for want of prosecution.  Finding that the pro se appellant, George A. Molinar, has failed to file a brief, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

Molinar’s brief was first due to be filed on February 4, 2012.  Since that time, the Court has granted multiple extensions of time in which to file the brief.  Most recently, the Court granted an extension of time to file the brief until August 31, 2012, but advised Molinar that no further extensions would be granted.  The Court also advised Molinar that his appeal would be dismissed if he failed to file his brief.  Molinar did not file his brief by the due date and he has not filed a motion for extension of time.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution pursuant to Rule 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
