MEMORANDUM OPINION

         This is an appeal from a default judgment signed on April 12, 2002. Appellant’s brief was due on September 18, 2002. We did not receive appellant’s brief or a reasonable explanation for failure to timely file its brief, and, therefore, on October 14, 2002, this Court issued an order stating as follows:

Appellant’s brief in this appeal was due September 18, 2002. As of the date of this order, appellant’s brief has not been filed. Unless a reasonable explanation for the failure to timely file appellant’s brief and appellant’s brief is [sic] filed within 30 days of the date of this order, the Court will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. Pro. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

          To date, appellant has not filed its brief or a reasonable explanation for failure to timely file its brief. Accordingly, appellant’s appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. Pro. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). All pending motions are overruled as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Hedges, Nuchia and Wilson.
