MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
This is an appeal transferred to the Seventh Court of Appeals from the Second
Court of Appeals per Supreme Court directive. Appellants, Orlando Elias-Reyes and
Sandra Elias-Reyes, filed their notice of appeal with the Second Court on September
12, 2016. The clerk’s record was due October 10, 2016. On October 11, 2016, the
county clerk notified the Second Court that Appellants had not paid nor made
arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(a)(2). By letter
dated October 11, 2016, the Second Court directed Appellants to pay or make
arrangements to pay for the record in a manner acceptable to the county clerk and
provide the Second Court with proof same by October 21, 2016. It further warned that
the failure to comply would result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). Thereafter, the appeal was transferred to this court.
To date, Appellants have not made payment or arranged to pay for the clerk’s
record as previously directed. Nor have they filed any response explaining their
omission. Consequently, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution, failure to
comply with requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and failure to
comply with a court order. TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
