Appellees

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

Dale Alan Curtis, appellant, appealed from a final judgment of the trial court. We dismiss the appeal.

The clerk's record was filed with this court on September 24, 2007. No reporter's record was filed. Appellant's brief, therefore, was due on October 24, 2007. By letter dated October 31, 2007, we notified appellant that the due date for the brief had passed, that the brief had not been filed and that no motion for extension of time to file the brief had been received by the court. Citing Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8, we also informed appellant that the appeal would be subject to dismissal unless a response reasonably explaining his failure to file a brief was filed by November 12, 2007. To date, appellant has filed neither a response to the court's October 31st letter, a brief nor a motion requesting an extension of the lapsed deadline.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b).
