                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       The appellants’ brief in the above cause was due on October 3, 2014. On October

8, 2014, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the brief had not been timely filed

and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution under Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless within ten days from the date of receipt of this

letter, appellants reasonably explained the failure and the appellees were not significantly
injured by the appellants’ failure to timely file a brief. To date, no response has been

received from appellants.

       Appellants have failed to either reasonably explain their failure to file a brief, file a

motion for extension of time to file the brief, or file the brief. Accordingly, the appeal is

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).
