This is an appeal from a judgment signed February 9, 2009.  The clerk=s record was filed on April 13, 2009.  No reporter=s record was taken in this case.  Appellant=s brief was due May 13, 2009, but was not filed.  Appellant also did not file a motion for extension of time to file his brief.

On May 21, 2009, this court issued an order stating that unless appellant submitted his brief, together with a motion reasonably explaining why the brief was late, on or before June 22, 2009, the court would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  Appellant filed no brief or other response.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
