PER CURIAM</strong>

<br wp="br1"><br wp="br2">
<p>	Because appellants have failed to file a brief, we will dismiss the appeal for want
of prosecution.  <em>See</em> Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

<p>	The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on August 14, 2000. 
Accordingly, appellants' brief was due on September 5, 2000. 

<p>	By letter dated September 20, 2000, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that
the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless appellants filed a brief by
October 2, 2000, or tendered a motion for extension of time reasonably explaining the failure to
do so.  Thus far, appellants have submitted neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time to
file a brief.

<p>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
<em>See id.</em> 42.3(b).
