DARRICK ISYLE WILSON, RALEIGH L. WOODARD D/B/A WOODARD'S BAIL BOND SERVICE, AND JACKIE WILSON, Appellants



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 248th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 0846111-A




O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a judgment signed on June 20, 2001 in a bond forfeiture proceeding. Notice of appeal was timely filed. The record has been filed. Appellants' brief is past due. On October 18, 2001, appellants' attorney verbally advised the Court that the appeal would be dismissed. No motion to dismiss has been filed.

On April 25, 2002, the Court issued an order stating that unless, within 30 days of the date of the order, appellants filed (1) a reasonable explanation for failure to timely file their brief, and (2) their brief, the Court would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). No reasonable explanation has been filed; no appellants' brief has been filed. Appellants have not responded to this Court's order of April 25, 2002.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

Appellants are ordered to pay the appellate filing fee of $125 to the Clerk of this Court within 10 days of the date of this opinion.
