        BRUCE A. CLARK & BRUCE C. CLARK, INTERVENOR, Appellees

 

 

                                          On Appeal from the 42nd District Court

                                                   Trial Court Cause No. 17,271

The trial court signed its judgment on May 30, 2008.  Appellants filed a notice of appeal but did not file a motion for new trial.  The appeal is dismissed.


Appellants have not filed an affidavit of inability to pay costs on appeal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.  When the appellate record was not timely filed, the clerk of this court wrote the parties advising them that the due date for the record had been extended.  Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(a)(1).  Both the clerk of the trial court and the court reporter have informed this court in writing that appellants have failed to make arrangements to pay for the appellate record.  On August 18, 2008, the clerk of this court wrote the parties advising that the appeal would be subject to dismissal unless appellants filed proof that they had made arrangements to pay for the clerk=s record and the record was filed in this court on or before October 2, 2008.  There has been no response to our August 18 letter.

The failure to file the appellate record is due to appellants= actions.  Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).  The appeal is dismissed.
