M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

                        The clerk’s record in this appeal was due in this Court on June 24, 2010. On September 2, 2010, appellants were notified that no clerk’s record had been filed due to their failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the district clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. The notice requested that appellants make arrangements for the clerk’s record and submit a status report regarding this appeal by September 13, 2010. Appellants have not filed a status report or otherwise responded to this Court’s notice.

                        If the trial court clerk fails to file the clerk’s record due to appellants’ failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the record, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellants were entitled to proceed without payment of costs. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Because appellants have failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
