                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       The clerk’s record in this case is overdue. By letter dated January 14, 2015, we informed

appellants’ attorney that the Dallas County Clerk had notified the Court that the clerk’s record

had not been filed because appellants had not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the

clerk’s record. We directed appellants to file written verification that they had paid for or made

arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record or that they had been found entitled to proceed without

payment of costs. We cautioned appellants that if they did not file the required documentation

within ten days, we might dismiss the appeal without further notice. By postcard dated February

9, 2015, we notified appellants’ attorney the Court had received but did not file appellants’ brief

because the brief was tendered to the Court before the clerk’s record was filed. We directed
appellants’ attorney to make arrangements to have the clerk’s record filed with the Court. To

date, the clerk’s record has not been filed, and appellants have not corresponded with the Court

regarding the status of the clerk’s record.

       Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b),(c).
