On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause Nos. 100688 and 101020

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Ronald L. Ducote appealed the final judgments forfeiting two bail bonds after entry of judgments nisi. ⁽¹⁾ The appeals were submitted without briefs because the appellant failed to file his briefs by the April 14, 2006 due date. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). The appellant did not request additional time to file the briefs. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). On May 16, 2006, we notified the parties that the appeals would be advanced without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.9. In the absence of a brief or briefs assigning error, we dismiss the appeals for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).

APPEALS DISMISSED.
