MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT
------------
On September 28, 2017, we notified appellant that an appelant’s brief had
not been filed as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See
Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant filed with the court an appellant’s
brief and a motion reasonably explaining the failure earlier to file an appellant’s

brief and the need for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1),
42.3(b). We have not received any response.
Because appellant has failed to file a brief after having been given an
opportunity to provide a reasonable explanation for the failure, we dismiss the
appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
Appellant must pay the costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
