                           Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Lang
                                   Opinion by Justice Francis
       In an order dated January 23, 2014, the Court reinstated this appeal having received

notice that the bankruptcy proceeding involving one of the appellants had been closed. We

ordered the Dallas County District Clerk to file, by February 24, 2014, either the clerk’s record

or written verification that appellants had not requested its preparation or made payment

arrangements. We cautioned appellants that if the Court received written verification of no

request or no payment, we would dismiss the appeal without further notice.

       On February 24, 2014, the Court received written verification from the Dallas County

District Clerk that appellants had not requested the clerk’s record. Accordingly, we dismiss the
      appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
