Don Garner appealed a take-nothing judgment. The brief of appellant was due to be filed on April 27, 2006. On May 25, 2006, appellant was notified the case would be submitted without briefs unless a brief and a motion for extension of time were filed within ten days. The appeal was submitted without briefs because the appellant failed to file his brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8. After we notified the parties of the submission date, the appellant requested additional time to file the brief. On July 18, 2006, we informed the appellant that the Court would not consider a motion for extension of time unless he submitted a brief with the motion. We have not received a brief from the appellant. In the absence of a brief assigning error, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
