DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           Appellants were required to pay $175.00 and $10.00 fees when they filed their notice of

appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5.1 Appellants did not pay the required fees. Accordingly, the clerk

of this court notified appellants by letter dated August 27, 2012, that the notice of appeal was

conditionally filed and the filing fees were due no later than September 7, 2012.

                                                                                    04-12-00546-CV

       On September 12, 2012, when the fees remained unpaid, this court ordered appellants to

provide written proof to this court not later than September 27, 2012, that either (1) the $175.00

and $10.00 filing fees have been paid, or (2) the parties are entitled to appeal without paying the

filing fees. See id. We warned appellants that if they failed to respond as ordered, the appeal

would be dismissed. See id. R. 42.3.

       To date, appellants have not filed any response with this court. Therefore, we dismiss

this appeal for want of prosecution. See id. R. 37.3(b), 42.3(c). Costs of this appeal are taxed

against appellants. See id. R. 43.4.
