Appeal from the

162nd District Court of

of Dallas County, Texas 

(TC#04-12009)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

	 This appeal is before the Court on its own motion for determination as to whether the appeal
should be dismissed for want of prosecution.  On March 4, 2008, Appellants filed their notice of
appeal.  By correspondence dated March 7, 2008, the Clerk of the Fifth Court of Appeals informed
Appellants that the filing fee was to be remitted within ten days, and that failure to do so could result
in dismissal of the appeal.  On April 9, 2008, the Clerk of the Fifth Court of Appeals informed the
parties that the appeal had been transferred by the Texas Supreme Court to this Court pursuant to
Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 73.001.  By correspondence dated April 14, 2008, the Clerk of this Court
again informed Appellants that the requisite filing fee had not been paid and warned of possible
dismissal.  By separate correspondence of the same date, the Clerk requested that the Appellants file
a docketing statement within ten days and notified them of the April 24, 2008, deadline for receipt
of the record.
	On May 1, 2008, Appellants were notified that neither the clerk's record nor the reporter's
record had been timely received, and notified Appellants that the records were due May 24, 2008. 
 On May 16, 2008, Appellants were again notified that no filing fee had been paid.  Appellants were
given twenty days to pay such fee.  Despite the Clerk's warnings, Appellants have failed to pay the
required filing fee and have not provided the Court with any record for this appeal.  Therefore,
pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 5 and 42.3, this appeal is dismissed with prejudice.
