KAREN ANGELINI, Justice.
Pursuant to our December 14, 2016 order, appellant's brief was due on January 13, 2017. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time has been filed.
We, therefore, ORDER Luis Benavides, appellant, to file, on or before February 13, 2017, his appellant's brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) his failure to timely file the brief and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by Benavides' failure to timely file a brief. If Benavides fails to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP.
