PER CURIAM

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Because appellants Scott Edward Parker and Elaine Hale Badouh have failed to file
a brief, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).</P>

<P>	The clerk's record was filed in this Court on May 2, 2001.  On June 11, 2001, the
Clerk of this Court notified appellants that their brief was overdue and requested a response
reasonably explaining the failure to file a timely brief by June 21, 2001.  Thus far, appellants have
not responded to this Court's request.</P>

<P>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
<EM>See </EM>Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).</P>
