HELEN MAYFIELD,

APPELLANT

 
vs.
TEXAS BOARD OF LAW EXAMINERS,

APPELLEE

 
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 345TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 484,961, HONORABLE JOSEPH H. HART, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

 

This is a dismissal for want of prosecution.

Generally, an appellant must file a brief within thirty days after the filing of the transcript and statement of facts, if any. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(k) (Pamph. 1992). If the appellant fails to file a brief within the prescribed time, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution, unless the appellant shows a reasonable explanation for failing to file the brief and the appellee has not suffered material injury. Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(l)(1) (Pamph. 1992).

The transcript in this cause was filed on January 8, 1992. Appellant has not filed a statement of facts. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on or before February 7, 1992. Appellant has not filed her brief. Moreover, appellant has not filed a motion for extension of time showing a reasonable explanation for her omission. See Tex. R. App. P. Ann. 74(n) (Pamph. 1992). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Dickson v. Dickson, 541 S.W.2d 895 (Tex. Civ. App. 1976, writ dism'd w.o.j.).
