Appellants filed a brief on June 30, 2025. By order dated July 8, 2025, we

struck appellants’ brief for failing to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure, and we ordered appellants to file a corrected brief within 30 days that

complied with the Rules. We also informed appellants that if they failed to timely file a corrected brief, we would dismiss their appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1),

42.3, 43.2(f). Appellants did not timely file a corrected appellants’ brief. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 38.6(a) (governing time to file brief), 38.8(a) (governing failure of

appellant to file brief).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.
