Delivered and Filed:   February 9, 2005

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

            Appellants’ brief, which was due on December 13, 2004, has not been filed. On January 5, 2005, this court ordered appellants to show cause in writing by January 20, 2005, why the appellants’ portion of this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellants did not respond. The appellants’ portion of the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). The dismissal does not affect the status of the cross-appeal. Costs of appeal will be taxed upon the final disposition of the appeal.
