JASON NORTON, Appellant,

v.

ALICIA NORTON, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________

On appeal from the County Court at Law of Coryell County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

The appellant's brief in the above cause was originally due on September 27,

2010. Appellant has previously requested and received four prior extensions of time to

file the brief. On June 9, 2011, this Court ordered the appellate brief to be filed on or

before June 30, 2011. The order notified counsel that no further extensions would be granted and that if the brief was not filed, the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of

prosecution under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless 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 and the brief has not been

filed. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b)(c).

PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 21st day of July, 2011.
