FROM THE 415TH DISTRICT COURT OF PARKER COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. CV15-1178 ------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT ------------

On July 8, 2016, we notified appellants that their briefs had not been filed as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We also notified appellant RR Royal Ranch Company that it had not timely filed a notice of new lead counsel as ordered by this court. We stated we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellants or any party desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. We have not received any response.

Because appellants’ briefs have not been filed, and because appellant RR Royal Ranch Company has not filed a notice of new lead counsel, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

Appellants shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
