FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 200TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 95-06452, HONORABLE JERRY DELLANA, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

Dwight G. Harden filed a transcript in this appeal without a statement of facts on

December 27, 1996. His brief was due January 27, 1997. See Tex. R. App. P. 74(k). He has filed no

brief or motion for extension of time to file a brief. Failure to file a brief timely without a reasonable

explanation is grounds for dismissal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 74( l )(1). On April 23, 1997,

this Court's clerk sent a notice to Harden's last known address warning that this failure to file a brief could

result in dismissal of the appeal. The notice was returned stamped "moved left no address." Harden has

provided no explanation for his failure to file a brief.

We dismiss for want of prosecution.
