                             Appellees

                       On Appeal from the 116th Judicial District Court

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before Justices O’Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans
                                 Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
       Our records reflect that, since the filing of the notice of appeal in December 2012,

appellants have taken no steps to prosecute this appeal. They have failed to (a) pay the filing fee,

(b) file the required docketing statement, (c) request the reporter’s record, and (d) pay the fee for

the clerk’s record so that the clerk’s record could be filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 32.1, 34.6(b),

35.3. Despite being cautioned that their appeal would be dismissed unless they paid the filing

fee and the fee for the clerk’s record by October 21, 2013, appellants have not complied or

otherwise communicated with the Court. Because nothing in our records reflects appellants are
excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee and clerk’s fee, and they have failed to pay

those fees, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 37.3(b), 42.3(b),(c).
