The appellant, Joy Brunner, submitted a brief but failed to provide a copy of the brief to the appellees. On April 13, 2006, we directed the appellant to provide lead counsel for each of the appellees with a copy of the appellant's brief, certify the fact of service in the form provided by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.5(e), and file the certificate of service with the Court of Appeals no later than April 24, 2006. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5(e). We notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution if the appellant failed to comply. The appellant has not filed the certificate or otherwise indicated that she served a copy of the brief on the appellees.

The appellant failed to comply with a notice requiring a response within a specified time and failed to prosecute her appeal by filing a brief that complies with the rules regarding service on opposing parties. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
