TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-9 9 -00 542 -CV Richard Grant Sweezey, Jr. , Appellant v. Amy M. Sweezey , Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 261ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 98-13163 , HONORABLE JOE B. DIBRELL, JR. , JUDGE PRESIDING PER CURIAM Because appellant has failed to file a brief, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on September 2, 1999, and the reporter's record on September 20, 1999 and October 22, 1999. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on November 22, 1999. By letter dated December 2, 1999, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless appellant filed a brief by December 13, 1999, or tendered a motion for extension of time reasonably explaining the failure to do so. Thus far, appellant has submitted neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time to file a brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. Id. 42.3(b).
