MEMORANDUM OPINION

On July 8, 2005, this Court provided notice of its intent to dismiss the case pending before this Court under Tex. R. App. P. 38.8 for the reason that Appellant has failed to file her brief and no motion for extension of time had been filed. We note that Appellant s brief was due May 17, 2005 pursuant to the Court s granting of an extension of time until that date. Our notice provided that Appellant must show grounds within 10 days for good reason to continue the appeal. Not having received a response from Appellant, this Court, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, and on its own motion, hereby dismisses this appeal for want of prosecution.

We therefore dismiss this appeal.
