MEMORANDUM OPINION

            On May 11, 2005, this court provided notice that it appeared from the record that the notice
of appeal was not timely perfected and, therefore, this Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.  It
also gave notice, pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a), of the Court’s intent to dismiss for want of
jurisdiction.  The notice provided that Appellants must show grounds for continuing the appeal
within ten days from the date of the notice.  Not having received a response from Appellants, this
court, pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.3, and on its own motion, hereby dismisses this appeal for lack
of jurisdiction. 
            We therefore dismiss this appeal.
