The clerk's records were filed on July 30, 2004. The reporter's records were filed on July 12, 2004. Appellant's briefs were due on August 30, 2004. To date, no appellate briefs have been received.

On September 10, 2004, notice was given to all parties that these appeals were subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1). Appellant was given ten days to explain why these causes should not be dismissed for failure to file a brief. To date, no response has been received.
