NO. 03-02-00043-CV

Albert Rivera, Jr., Appellant

v.

Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 126TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 95-01015, HONORABLE SUZANNE COVINGTON, JUDGE PRESIDING

The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on January 28, 2002. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on March 1, 2002. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a).

By postcard dated July 3, 2002, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless appellant filed a brief by July 15, 2002, or tendered a motion for extension of time reasonably explaining the failure to do so. Thus far, appellant has submitted neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time to file a brief.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See id. 42.3(b).
