            Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Goldstein, and Justice Smith
                            Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
        After appellants failed to timely file their brief, we directed appellants by

postcard dated April 4, 2022 to file their brief within ten days and cautioned them

that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). To date, appellants have not filed their brief.1

    1
       Because appellee filed a brief, the clerk’s office telephoned appellants’ counsel regarding their failure
to file a brief. Appellants’ attorney indicated that he assumed we would dismiss the case and that he did
not intend to file a brief or a motion to dismiss.
      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.   See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.3(a)(1);

42.3(b),(c).
