PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Catherine Stone, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

DISMISSED

Arthur Lee Robertson appeals the trial court’s judgment dismissing his lawsuit. Robertson’s

brief was due September 29, 2008. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time was filed.

On October 10, 2008, we ordered Robertson to file, not later than October 20, 2008, his appellant’s

brief and a written response reasonably explaining his failure to timely file the brief. We advised 04-08-00346-CV

Robertson that if he failed to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we would

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX . R. APP . P. 38.8(a). Robertson has not filed a

brief or the written response ordered by the court.

We therefore order this appeal dismissed for want of prosecution.
