Texas Gardening: What's wrong with my rosemary?, 1 by sybram

My Rosemary was trimmed back in July, and it looked sooo good with new growth inside. Two (or three ) weeks ago I noticed a branch had died out. My rosemary has done this before, and I just cut that one off, and it's fine. Well-intentioned I am, but I forgot all about it, and now I'm not sure I can save it. It'll really be gappy if I cut all that out. Is it a disease? Should I cut it all way back, or just pull the thing up and start over.
