MEMORANDUM OPINION
Bruce Lantry appeals the trial court's judgment signed April 13, 2007. Lantry's appellant's brief was due October 22, 2007. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time was filed. On November 7, 2007, we therefore ordered Lantry to file, on or before November 19, 2007, his appellant's brief and a written response reasonably explaining his failure to timely file the brief. We further advised Lantry that if he 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). Lantry has not filed a brief or the written response ordered by the court.
We therefore ORDER this appeal dismissed for want of prosecution. We further ORDER that appellee, Kathryn Lantry, recover her costs in this appeal from Bruce Lantry.
