In the Interest of W.M.T.K.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
James Lucas Knight appeals the trial court's order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. We ordered appellant's brief due March 20, 2015, but neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time was filed. On March 31, 2015, we ordered appellant to file, not later than April 10, 2014, his appellant's brief and a written response reasonably explaining his failure to timely file the brief. We advised appellant 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); see also Tex.R.App. P. 42.3(c) (court may dismiss appeal because appellant has failed to comply with a court order within the time provided). Appellant has not filed a brief or the written response ordered by the court.
We therefore order this appeal dismissed.
