APPELLEE
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 345TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 484,961, HONORABLE JOSEPH H. HART, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
This is a dismissal for want of prosecution.
Generally, an appellant must file a brief within thirty days after the filing of the
transcript and statement of facts, if any. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(k) (Pamph. 1992). If the
appellant fails to file a brief within the prescribed time, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal
for want of prosecution, unless the appellant shows a reasonable explanation for failing to file the
brief and the appellee has not suffered material injury. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74( l )(1) (Pamph.
1992).
The transcript in this cause was filed on January 8, 1992. Appellant has not filed
a statement of facts. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on or before February 7, 1992.
Appellant has not filed her brief. Moreover, appellant has not filed a motion for extension of time
showing a reasonable explanation for her omission. See Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(n) (Pamph.
1992). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Dickson v. Dickson ,
541 S.W.2d 895 (Tex. Civ. App. 1976, writ dism'd w.o.j.).
