Health & Safety Management, Inc. d/b/a Cardinal Environmental Laboratory and Richard P. Griffin perfected a restricted appeal from a default judgment. The appeal was submitted without briefs because the appellants failed to file their brief by the February 3, 2006, due date. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). The appellants did not request additional time to file the brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). On April 10, 2006, we notified the parties that the appeal would be advanced without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.9. In the absence of a brief assigning error, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
