MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT
------------
On September 25, 2012, we ordered appellant to file a response
reasonably explaining the failure to timely file his brief as required by Texas Rule
of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated we
could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellant or any party
desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court within ten days a response
showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b),(c). We

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
received appellant’s response on October 5, 2012, but he has not provided a
reasonable explanation or shown grounds for continuing the appeal.
Because appellant's brief has not been filed, we dismiss the appeal for
want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
