TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-95-00468-CV

In the Matter of D. O.

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF HAYS COUNTY

NO. 1606, HONORABLE HOWARD S. WARNER, II, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

Appellant D. O., a juvenile, appeals the trial court's order denying a pre-trial writ of habeas corpus. The Clerk of this Court filed the transcript on August 5, 1995, and the statement of facts on August 21, 1995. Appellant's brief was due to be filed on September 20, 1995.

By letter dated October 13, 1995, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the transcript, supplemental transcript and statement of facts were filed and that appellant's brief was due and that the appeal was subject to dismissal unless he tendered a motion by October 23, 1995 reasonably explaining his failure to file a brief. Tex. R. App. P. 74(l)1; see Tex. R. App. P. 60(a)(2). To date, D. O. has submitted neither a brief nor a motion for an extension of time to file a brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 60(a)(2), 74(l)(1); Sentinel Pipe Servs., Inc. v. Tandy Computer Leasing, 825 S.W.2d 212, 212 (Tex.
