We ABATE this appeal and REMAND this cause to the trial court. We ORDER Appellants to ensure that a supplemental clerk’s record with an appealable order is filed in this court within TWENTY DAYS of the date of this order. If Appellants fail to cure the jurisdictional defect as ordered, we will reinstate this appeal and dismiss it for want of jurisdiction without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
