On October 26, 2005, we received a letter from the court reporter, Candy Zavala, stating that she did not take a record
in this case and that she had not received a designation of record from the appellant, Richard Novelo d/b/a R & M
International Productions. Thus, because there was no reporter s record and no designation of a reporter s record, on
October 26, 2005, the clerk of this court notified appellant that his brief was due on November 28, 2005. Neither the
brief nor a motion for extension of time was filed.
On January 5, 2006, we ordered Richard Novelo d/b/a R & M International Productions to file, on or before January
25, 2006, his appellant s brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) his failure to timely file the brief and
(2) why appellee is not significantly injured by his failure to timely file a brief. We warned that if Novelo failed to file
a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R.
App. P. 38.8(a). Novelo did not file a brief or a written response. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal for want of
prosecution. See id.
PER CURIAM
