Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO.03-02-00158-CV


David Pulliam and Adela Pulliam, Appellants



v.



Lori Robinson, Appellee








FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF CALDWELL COUNTY

NO. 3770, HONORABLE EDWARD L. JARRETT, JUDGE PRESIDING


Because appellants David Pulliam and Adela Pulliam have failed to file an appellants' brief, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on March 25, 2002 and the reporter's record on April 4. Thus, appellants' brief was due May 6. See id. 38.6(a)(2). By postcard dated June 3, 2002, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless appellants tendered a motion for extension of time by June 13, reasonably explaining the failure to file a brief. See id. 38.8(a)(1). Thus far, appellants have submitted neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time to file a brief.

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