                        Before Justices Whittington, Wright, and Bridges

       Although appellants filed a notice of appeal with the trial court on August 23, 1999, this

Courtdid not receivea copyof the noticeof appeal. Rather, on October 4,1999, the Courtreceived

written notification from the district clerk that the clerk's record had been prepared, but was being

held for a tenderof $861. By letter dated October 4, 1999, this Court directed appellants to file a

completed docketing statement. .SeeTEX.R.APP.P.32. Appellants did not respond. By letter dated

November 12, 1999, the Court again directed appellants to file a docketing statement. The letter

cautioned appellants that failure to file the docketing statement within ten days would result in

dismissal of their appeal without further notice. To date, appellants have not responded.
        Therefore, on the Court's own motion, this appeal is DISMISSED. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.3(b), (c).
