This appeal was taken from a judgment of the district court of Bexar county to the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals at San Antonio, and was by the Supreme Court duly transferred from said Court of Civil Appeals to this, the Ninth Court of Civil Appeals, and duly filed on the docket of this court on August 1, 1932, and' was by this court, on December 20,1932, set for submission on February 20, 1933.

The case is before us without briefs by either party, and no excuse is shown why briefs have not been filed. The rule is well settled that the failure of the parties to an appeal, without good cause being shown, to file briefs, in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Supreme Court and the statute, authorizes the Court of Civil Appeals to dismiss the appeal without searching the record for fundamental error.
