                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright

       The clerk’s record in this case is past due. By letter dated August 10, 2016, we informed

appellants that the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellants had not paid for, or made

arrangements to pay for, the clerk’s record.       We directed appellants to provide written

verification that they had paid for or made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record or to

provide written documentation they had been found entitled to proceed without payments of

costs. We cautioned appellants that failure to do so would result in dismissal of this appeal for

want of prosecution. To date, appellants have not paid the clerk’s fee, provided the required

documentation, or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
