      On August 20, 2020, the trial court signed a judgment for possession in favor

of Kelley Family Investments, Ltd. in a forcible entry and detainer suit. Appellants

Dwayne Burleson and Patricia M. Burleson filed a notice of appeal. 1 On October 23,

2020, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless appellants

remitted the filing fee for the appeal. Appellants did not respond.

        The trial court’s judgment included Dwayne Burleson, Patricia M. Burleson,
and all other occupants.
                                          1
        Appellants did not file affidavits of indigence on appeal and have not shown

that they are entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.

There being no satisfactory explanation for appellants’ failure to pay the filing fee

for the appeal, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3.

        APPEAL DISMISSED.
