MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT

----------

On March 20, 2006, we notified appellants that the trial court clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal had informed the court that arrangements had not been made to pay for the clerk’s record as required by T EX. R. A PP. P. 35.3(a)(2).  We stated we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellants, within fifteen days, made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record and provided this court with proof of payment.  

Because appellants have not made payment arrangements for the clerk’s record, it is the opinion of the court that the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.   See T EX . R. A PP . P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).

Appellants shall pay all costs of the appeal, for which let execution issue.

PER CURIAM

PANEL D:  CAYCE, C.J.; LIVINGSTON and DAUPHINOT, JJ.
