              JEFFREY LONGINO AND GERALLYN LONGINO, Appellants

                                                   V.

                                  WILLIAM R. EGAN, Appellee

                                              ORDER

       The clerk's record in this appeal was due to be filed no later than November 23, 2012. At

the time the record was due, the trial court had pending before it appellant Gerallyn Longino's

affidavit of indigence and claim that she could not pay the costs associated with the appeal. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 20.1. On December 17, 2012, following a hearing on a contest to the affidavit, the trial

court determined that neither appellant Gerallyn Longino nor appellant Jeffrey Longino is indigent

and ordered them both to pay all fees and costs associated with the appeal. See id. 20.1 (i). By letter

dated January 24,2013, Collin County Clerk Stacey Kemp informed the Court that appellants have

failed to comply with the trial court's order, and she requested an extension of time to file the clerk's

record until appellants pay the fee.

        Because the trial court clerk is responsible for preparing the record only after appellant has

paid for the clerk's fee, made payment arrangements with the clerk, or been found entitled to proceed

without payment of the fee, we GRANT the extension motion and ORDER appellants to file, no
later than February 11,2013, written verification that they have paid or made arrangements to pay

for the record. See id. 35.3(a). The clerk's record shall then be filed within ten days of receipt of

payment or the making of payment arrangements. Appellants are cautioned that failure to comply

with this order will result in dismissal of this appeal without further notice. See id. 37.3(b).

                                       ORDER SUSTAINING CONTEST TO INDIGENCY

                     On December 14, 2012, in accordance with the instructions from the Clerk of the Dallas Court of
            Appeals in her letter of December 6, 2012, came on to be considered in the Co1n1ty Court at Law No. 6,
            Collin Co1n1ty, Texas, the AFRO AVIT OF INDIGENCY filed by Gerallynn Longino on November 15, 2012,
            in the Dallas Court of Appeals 1n1der Case No. 05-12-01509-CV, and the Court, having considered the
            evidence and argument, finds that the contests to the AFRDAVIT OF INDIGENCY were timely filed and
            heard and they should be sustained for the reason that Jeffery Longino and Gerallynn Longino have failed
