MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-11-00769-CV Ronald Dwayne WALKER, Appellant v. Ben G. MARIN, Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 2, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 372125 Honorable David J. Rodriguez, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 25, 2012 DISMISSED Appellant, Ronald Dwayne Walker, appealed the trial court’s judgment in Cause Number 372125. Appellant’s brief was originally due December 23, 2011. We granted appellant an extension until January 23, 2012 to file his brief. Because appellant failed to file his brief we ordered appellant to file, on or before March 16, 2012, his appellant’s brief and a written response reasonably explaining his failure to timely file the brief. We advised appellant that if he failed to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we would dismiss the appeal 04-11-00769-CV

for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (court may dismiss appeal because appellant has failed to comply with a court order within the time provided). Appellant has not filed a brief or the written response ordered by the court.

We therefore order this appeal dismissed. We further order that appellee recover his costs in this appeal from appellant.

PER CURIAM
