On Appeal from the 268th District Court

Fort Bend County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 05-DCV-142846

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 17, 2011, the Court granted the parties’ motions for partial dismissal[1] and ordered that the remaining appellants[2] file a brief.  The remaining appellants have failed to timely file a brief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a) (failure of appellant to file brief).  After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellants did not adequately respond.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution for failure to timely file a brief. 

We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Higley, and Bland.
