Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo
Opinion Per Curiam

Appellants, ACE TRANSPORTATION, INCORPORATED AND BOBBY WORRELL, perfected an appeal from a
judgment entered by the 156th District Court of Bee County, Texas, in cause number B-99-1105-0-CV-B .  No clerk's
record has been filed due to appellants' failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the clerk's
record.  
If the trial court clerk fails to file the clerk's record because the appellant failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the
clerk's fee for preparing the clerk's record, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the
appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of costs.  Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
On January 18, 2002 , notice was given to all parties that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P.
37.3(b).  Appellants were given ten days to explain why the cause should not be dismissed.  To date, no response has been
received from appellants. 
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellants' failure to pay or make arrangements to
pay the clerk's fee for preparing the clerk's record,  this Court's notice, and appellants' failure to respond, is of the opinion
that the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF
PROSECUTION.
