FROM THE 297th District Court OF Tarrant COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1] AND JUDGMENT

----------

On July 9, 2010, we notified appellant that his 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 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 reasonably explaining the failure to timely file a brief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  We have not received any response.

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), (c), 43.2(f).

Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
