TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-22-00447-CV

                             John and Sally Kosmatka, Appellants

                                                 v.

            Motostalgia, LLC; Antonio Brunet; and Motoreum, LLC, Appellees

              FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
 NO. D-1-GN-19-008679, THE HONORABLE MARIA CANTÚ HEXSEL, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               The clerk’s record in this appeal was due for filing in this Court on

September 6, 2022. On September 9, 2022, we notified appellants that no clerk’s record had

been filed due to their failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the trial clerk’s fee for

preparing the clerk’s record. The notice requested that appellants make arrangements for the

clerk’s record and submit a status report regarding this appeal by September 19, 2022. Further,

the notice advised appellants that their failure to comply with this request could result in the

dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. To date, appellants have not filed a status

report or otherwise responded to this Court’s notice, and the clerk’s record has not been filed.

               If a trial-court clerk fails to file the clerk’s record due to an appellants’ failure to

pay or make arrangements to pay for the clerk’s fee for preparing the 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). In this case, appellants have not established

that they are entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. Because

appellants have failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the

clerk’s record, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.

                                              __________________________________________
