DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           Appellants were required to pay $175.00 and $10.00 fees when they filed their notice of

appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5.1 Appellants did not pay the required fees. Accordingly, the clerk

of this court notified appellants by letter dated June 19, 2012, that the notice of appeal was

conditionally filed and the filing fees were due no later than June 29, 2012.

2010); Texas Supreme Court Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of

                                                                                     04-12-00371-CV

       On October 9, 2012, when the fees remained unpaid, this court ordered appellants to

provide written proof to this court not later than October 24, 2012, that either (1) the $175.00 and

$10.00 filing fees have been paid, or (2) the appellants are entitled to appeal without paying the

filing fees. See id. We warned appellants that if they failed to respond as ordered, the appeal

would be dismissed. See id. R. 5, 42.3; In re W.J.C., No. 04-05-00532-CV, 2005 WL 3477883,

at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 21, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.).

       To date, appellants have not filed any response with this court. Therefore, we dismiss

this appeal for want of prosecution. See id. R. 37.3(b), 42.3(c). Costs of this appeal are taxed

against appellants. See id. R. 43.4.
