On Appeal from the 92nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellants' brief in the above cause was due August 17, 2007. On September 24, 2007, the Court notified appellants that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellants reasonably explained their failure to file the brief and the appellees were not significantly injured by their failure to timely file the brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c). Appellants failed to respond.

On October 24, 2007, the Court again notified appellants of these matters by regular and certified mail; however, the notice sent by certified mail was returned unclaimed and no response has been filed. See id. 42.3(b), (c). Appellants have further failed to pay required fees as directed by the Clerk of the Court.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and failure to comply with notices from the Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b), (c).
