Green, Presiding January 22, 2020 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and PARKER and DOSS, JJ. Appellants, Esperanza Herrera and Alfredo Ramirez, filed a notice of appeal in the above referenced cause without paying the requisite filing fee. By letter of December 23, 2019, the clerk of this court notified appellants that unless they were excused from paying costs under Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, failure to pay the filing fee by January 2, 2020, would result in dismissal of the appeal. To date, appellants have not paid the filing fee, communicated to the clerk that they are presumed indigent under Rule 20.1, or sought leave to proceed without the payment of costs. TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. Because appellants failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules and a notice from the clerk requiring action within a specified time, we dismiss the appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Per Curiam 2
