Because appellants Scott Edward Parker and Elaine Hale Badouh have failed to file a brief, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

The clerk's record was filed in this Court on May 2, 2001. On June 11, 2001, the Clerk of this Court notified appellants that their brief was overdue and requested a response reasonably explaining the failure to file a timely brief by June 21, 2001. Thus far, appellants have not responded to this Court's request.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
