MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
On
February 17, 2011, the Court granted the parties’ motions for partial dismissal[1] and
ordered that the remaining appellants[2] file a
brief.  The remaining appellants have
failed to timely file a brief.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a) (failure
of appellant to file brief).  After being
notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellants did not
adequately respond.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b) (allowing
involuntary dismissal of case).
We
dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution for failure to timely file a
brief.  
We
dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER
CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes,
Higley, and Bland.
