On Appeal from the 335th District Court Washington County, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants, Lawrence McNiel and Sandra McNiel, failed to file a brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a) (governing time to file brief), 38.8(a) (governing failure of appellant to file brief). On August 31, 2020, this Court issued a notice alerting appellants of their failure and directing them to file a motion for extension of time to file a brief within 10 days of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case). Appellants never responded. Appellees, Triple Crown Acquisitions, L.L.C., and Viaje Oil and Gas L.L.C., now move to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

We grant appellees' motion and dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

Appellants' appeal of the summary judgment granted in favor of appellee, Nancy Shepherd Rector, was dismissed on July 14, 2020.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Countiss, Rivas-Molloy, and Guerra.
