APPELLANT

APPELLEE

PER CURIAM

Appellant Stephen S. Durish, Receiver for Lloyds, Texas, Impaired Company ("Durish") seeks to appeal from a summary judgment rendered by the district court of Travis County in favor of appellee Loleat V. Harmon. We will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

The district court rendered judgment on August 8, 1991. Because Durish timely filed a motion for new trial and motion for reformation of judgment, the record was due to be filed in this Court no later than December 6, 1991. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 54(a) (Pamph. 1992). The transcript was filed timely on November 26, 1991.

Durish filed a timely motion for extension of time to file the statement of facts on December 20, 1991. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 54(c) (Pamph. 1992). This Court granted the motion and extended the time within which to file the statement of facts until January 19, 1992. To date, Durish has not filed a statement of facts in this cause.

Because Durish did not file a statement of facts, his brief was due to be filed "within thirty days after the filing of the transcript," that is, on or before December 27, 1991. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(k) (Pamph. 1992). Durish has filed neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time showing a reasonable explanation for the omission and for the need for additional time. See Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(l)(1),(n) (Pamph. 1992). Pursuant to Rule 74(l)(1), this Court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See also Rule 54(a) (appellate court may dismiss appeal for failure to file statement of facts).

The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
