THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3
Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause Nos. 100688 and 101020




MEMORANDUM OPINION 
	Ronald L. Ducote appealed the final judgments forfeiting two bail bonds after entry
of judgments nisi. (1)  The appeals were submitted without briefs because the appellant failed
to file his briefs by the April 14, 2006 due date.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a).  The appellant
did not request additional time to file the briefs.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).  On May 16,
2006, we notified the parties that the appeals would be advanced without oral argument.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 39.9.  In the absence of a brief or briefs assigning error, we dismiss the
appeals for want of prosecution.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
	APPEALS DISMISSED.
