V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

Trial Court No. 0200230
Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Clinton Lee Young appeals from an order denying his petition for bill of review. The record was timely filed, and Young's brief was originally due on March 5, 2003. Young has neither filed his brief nor provided this Court with a reasonable explanation for his failure to do so. On March 18, 2003, we wrote Young's counsel, directing him to file his brief within fifteen days, on or before April 2, 2003. We warned him that, if his brief was not filed as directed by this Court, the appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3. Counsel has not contacted this Court, nor filed his appellate brief.

We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

 

Josh R. Morriss, III
