                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      The appellants’ brief in the above cause was due on September 25, 2012. On

October 17, 2012, the Clerk of the Court notified appellants 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 the Court’s 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 the 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).
