MEMORANDUM OPINION ⁽¹⁾  

Milton Leday and Linda Leday sued Sydney Boyd d/b/a Beaumont Motors for breach of contract, fraud and deceptive trade practices in connection with the sale and repossession of an automobile. The trial court entered a judgment awarding the Ledays $16,040.00, and Boyd appealed.   

The appellant failed to file his brief by the November 5, 2004, due date. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(b). The appellant did not request additional time to file the brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). On January 21, 2005, we notified the parties that the appeal would be advanced without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.9. 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).
