The brief of appellant Heldy Finch was due May 8, 2003. By letter of May 22, 2003, appellant was notified that her brief was overdue and instructed to tender a brief with the explanation required by Rule 38 or her appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1) (if appellant fails timely to file brief, appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution unless appellant reasonably explains failure and appellee not significantly injured). To date, we have received no response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b) (dismissal for want of prosecution).
