filed April 19, 2013, stricken. Appellant was ordered to file a brief that complied with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure within ten (10) days. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).

Appellant was informed that if he filed another brief that did not comply with Rule 38, the Court may strike the brief, prohibit appellant from filing another, and proceed as if appellant had failed to file a brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.9(a). Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a), where an appellant has failed to file a brief, we may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. If appellant fails to timely file a brief in accordance with Rule 38, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).

Appellant filed no response. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
