Appellants filed their notice of appeal on February 24, 2004. On May 4, appellants requested an extension of time to file their brief. On May 10, this Court extended the filing deadline for appellants' brief to June 9. On July 28, the Clerk of this Court sent appellants notice that their brief was overdue and that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution if appellants did not reply to the notice by August 6. To date, appellants have not responded to this Court's notice.

We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
