On Appeal from the 193rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-14153
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Whitehill, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Bridges
The brief in this accelerated appeal has not been filed because the parties have been attempting to settle their dispute. The parties were scheduled to mediate on October 14, 2019. Based on the date of mediation, we ordered appellants to file either their opening brief or a motion to dismiss no later than November 4, 2019. On November 15, 2019, when appellants had not complied, we ordered them to file the opening brief or motion to dismiss no later than November 25, 2019. Our November 15th order cautioned appellants that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c). To date, appellants have failed to comply and have not otherwise communicated with the Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c).
