Ralph S. Chase Et Al v. State.
    No. 30,870.
    October 28, 1959.
    
      No attorney for appellant of record on appeal.
    
      Jack M. Fant, County Attorney, Owen H. Ellington, Assistant County Attorney, El Paso, and Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.
   DAVIDSON, Judge.

This is an appeal in a bail bond forfeiture case.

There is nothing in the record showing that a brief has been filed in this court, as required by the Rules of Civil Procedure. Art. 866, C.C.P.

Failure to comply with the rules requiring the filing of briefs authorizes a dismissal of the appeal for the want of prosecution. Hebert v. State, 158 Texas Cr. Rep. 271, 255 S.W. 2d 201; Dunn v. State, 160 Texas Cr. Rep. 37, 267 S.W. 2d 144; Bell v. State, 244 S.W. 2d 210.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
