DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           From the limited record before us, it appears the clerk’s record was due on September 29,

2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1(b). After no clerk’s record was timely filed, on October 25, 2022,

we ordered Appellants to file written proof by November 3, 2022, that either (1) the clerk’s fee

has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the clerk’s fee, or (2) Appellants are entitled

to a free clerk’s record. We warned Appellants that if they failed to respond as ordered, this appeal

would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b).
                                                                                   04-22-00615-CV

       On October 31, 2022, Appellees filed a motion to affirm the trial court’s order. On

November 3, 2022, Appellant Gabriel G. Rodriguez Sr. filed an amended brief and a motion for

leave to file the amended brief.

       To date, Appellants have not filed written proof regarding the clerk’s record as ordered.

We dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c).

       We STRIKE Appellant’s Amended Brief; all pending motions for relief are DENIED.
