PER CURIAM
<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2"> <P> Appellants attempt an accelerated appeal from a temporary injunction in favor of the State of Texas. <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 28.1. Because appellants have failed to file a brief, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.</P>
<P> Appellants filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 1998. Although the clerk's record in this cause was received late, the Clerk of this Court filed it on October 15, 1998. <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 37.2. Appellants' brief was due to be filed in this Court on November 4, 1998. <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 38.(a)(1). As of December 14, 1998, appellants had not tendered either a brief or a motion for extension of time within which to file a brief. <EM> See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). By letter dated December 14, 1998, the Clerk of this Court notified appellants that unless appellants provided a reasonable explanation for the failure to file a brief by December 28, 1998, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). All parties have received ten days notice of the proposed dismissal; this Court has received no response. <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).</P>
