                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On January 4, 2018, John C. Deaton Jr. and Elizabeth Deaton filed a notice of

appeal of an order signed on December 20, 2017. We docketed the appeal and

granted a fifteen-day extension of time to file a petition for a permissive appeal. See

Tex. R. App. P. 12.1, 28.3(d). On January 10, 2018, we notified the parties that the

appeal would be dismissed unless a petition for a permissive appeal was filed by the

January 19, 2018, deadline. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. No response has been filed.

      A petition for a permissive appeal must be filed within fifteen days after the

order to be appealed is signed. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(c). An extension may be

granted if a party files the petition within fifteen days after the deadline and files a

motion for extension of time. Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(d). In this case, the appellants

filed a motion but did not file a petition within the time required. Id. Accordingly,

we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
