                        MEMORANDUM OPINION1

                                    ----------

      Appellants Steve McDaniel and Ginger McDaniel attempt to appeal from

an order granting a plea to the jurisdiction. The trial court granted the plea on

      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

                                        2
September 27, 2012, and Appellants filed a motion to reinstate on October 30,

2012; Appellants’ notice of appeal was therefore due December 26, 2012, but

was not filed until January 11, 2013.2       See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a)(3).   We

notified Appellants of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal

because the notice of appeal was not timely filed, and we informed them that the

appeal would be dismissed unless they, or any party desiring to continue the

appeal, filed with the court, on or before February 8, 2013, a response showing

grounds for continuing the appeal.           We have not received a response.

Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(a), 43.2(f).

       Appellants appear to have complied with rule of civil procedure 5 in filing
their motion to reinstate. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 5.
