                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 25, 2019, we notified the parties that the appellants had not

established indigence and warned that the appeal would be dismissed for want of

prosecution unless arrangements were made for filing the clerk’s record or the

appellants explained why additional time was needed to file the record. Appellants

did not respond to this Court’s notice.

                                            1
      An appellant who wishes to proceed on appeal without payment of costs must

file an affidavit of indigence. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. An appeal may be dismissed

for want of prosecution if the appellant is not entitled to appeal without payment of

costs and fails to pay for the clerk’s record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).

      Appellants did not file an affidavit of indigence on appeal and have not shown

that they are entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See generally Tex. R.

App. P. 20.1. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R.

App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
