When Appellant failed to secure the filing of the reporter's record, this court notified Appellant, on March 4, 2002, that the case would be submitted on the clerk's record alone and that Appellant's brief was due on or before April 1, 2002. When Appellant failed to file her brief within the required time, this court notified her on April 3, 2002, that the brief was past due, and it warned that if Appellant failed to provide a response explaining the delay by April 15, 2002 , the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution under Tex.
