                  MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1] AND JUDGMENT

                                               ----------

On June 26, 2006, we notified appellant Jerry Runnels that his brief had not been filed as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a).  TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a).  We stated we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellant or any party desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  We have not received any response.

Because appellant=s brief has not been filed, we dismiss Runnel=s appeal for want of prosecution.  See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).
