his brief had not been timely filed and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want
of prosecution under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless within ten
days from the date of receipt of this letter, appellant reasonably explained the failure and
the appellee was not significantly injured by the appellant's failure to timely file a brief.
To date, no response has been received from appellant.
