NO. 14-0140-C277, HONORABLE STACEY MATHEWS, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellants’ opening brief was originally due on April 22, 2016. After this deadline
passed without a brief being filed, our Clerk sent notice to appellants on May 11, 2016, advising that
their brief was overdue and warning that the appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if
appellants did not file a brief or otherwise respond by May 23, 2016 with a reasonable explanation
for failing to file a brief.1 To date, appellants have provided no explanation of their ongoing failure
to file a brief, let alone filed one. We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.2
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1) (if appellant fails to timely file a brief, this Court is
empowered to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellant reasonably explains the
failure and appellee is not significantly injured by that failure).
2
See id. R. 42.3(b).
