v.

F/K/A OUTDOOR RESORTS/SOUTH PADRE OWNER’S ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellees. ____________________________________________________________

On Appeal from the 445th District Court of Cameron County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam This matter is before the Court on a defective notice of appeal and appellants’

failure to correct the defect. On October 31, 2011, and February 22, 2012, the Court

advised appellants that the notice of appeal was not in compliance with Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 25.1(d)(5) and that it contained the wrong cause number. The

Court requested correction of these defects within ten days. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.1(d)(5), 37.1, 42.3(b),(c). Appellants have failed to correct the defects or otherwise

respond to the Court's notices.

On its own motion, with ten days notice to the parties, an appellate court may

dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to comply with a notice from the

clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and for failure to

comply with a notice from the Court. See id.
