MEMORANDUM OPINION1

Appellant David Keith Biscamp, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s order of dismissal of his divorce action from appellee Tammy Belinda Fearrin.

Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(a).

Appellant’s brief was due to be filed no later than January 1, 2003, but has yet to be filed, and no motion for extension of time has been filed. By letter dated March 26, 2003, appellant was notified of the defect and was directed to file a response reasonably explaining the delay and the failure to pay the filing fee of $125 by April 8, 2003, and also was notified that failure to comply might result in dismissal. Appellant did not respond and the brief and filing fee remain outstanding.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution and failure to comply with an order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b) and (c).

Don H. Reavis Justice
