                  MEMORANDUM OPINION[1] AND JUDGMENT
                                               ----------




Appellant Ventana Minerals, LLP filed its notice of appeal on November
22, 2005.  Appellants T. Herman Moore,
Jr., Trustee of the Thomas H. Moore Revocable Trust, and Donald Hugh Swafford,
Individually and as Executor of The Estate of Grace Jackson, Deceased, filed
their notice of appeal on December 5, 2005.
On June 20, 2006, we notified appellants that their briefs had not
been filed as required by TEX. R. APP. P.
38.6(a).  We stated we would dismiss both
of their appeals for want of prosecution unless appellants or any party
desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court within ten days a
response showing grounds for continuing their appeals.  We have not received any response.
Because appellants= briefs have not been filed, we dismiss both of their appeals for want
of prosecution.  See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).
Appellants shall pay all costs of both appeals, for which let
execution issue.
