Appeal from
Appellants, §
394th District Court
v. §
of Brewster County, Texas
THE CITY OF ALPINE, TEXAS, §
(TC # 2015-03-B0705-CV)
Appellee. §
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be
dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that Appellants, Emily Livingston Scown and Barbara
Scown, have failed to file their brief or a motion for extension of time to file the brief, we dismiss
the appeal for want of prosecution.
The Clerk of the Court notified Appellants that their brief was past due and no motion for
extension of time had been filed. The letter advised Appellants that the Court intended to dismiss
the appeal for want of prosecution unless Appellants responded within ten days and showed
grounds for continuing the appeal. See TEX.R.APP.P. 38.8(a)(1). Appellants have not filed the
brief or an extension motion, and they have not filed any response to the Court’s inquiry.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX.R.APP.P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),
(c).
