                     MEMORANDUM OPINION

             Before Justices Hinojosa, Rodriguez and Castillo

                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellants, RUBEN ALVEAR, ET AL., attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause no. 98-05955-G.  The clerk=s record was received on April 28, 2006. 

Upon review of the clerk=s record, it appeared that the order from which this appeal was taken was not a final appealable order.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done.  Appellants were advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  Appellants failed to file a response as requested by this Court=s notice.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellants= failure to respond to this Court=s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and

filed this the 1^st day of June, 2006.
