AND C.D., MINOR CHILDREN, AND ERNEST RIGGENS, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS NEXT OF FRIEND OF J.R., A MINOR CHILD, Appellants V. MIKE TRUCKING INC., DBA, NORTH TEXAS TRUCKING, INC., Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-14-00603-A MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart Opinion by Chief Justice Wright The clerk’s record in this case is overdue. By letter dated January 14, 2015, we informed appellants’ attorney that the Dallas County Clerk had notified the Court that the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellants had not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record. We directed appellants to file written verification that they had paid for or made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record or that they had been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellants that if they did not file the required documentation within ten days, we might dismiss the appeal without further notice. By postcard dated February 9, 2015, we notified appellants’ attorney the Court had received but did not file appellants’ brief because the brief was tendered to the Court before the clerk’s record was filed. We directed appellants’ attorney to make arrangements to have the clerk’s record filed with the Court. To date, the clerk’s record has not been filed, and appellants have not corresponded with the Court regarding the status of the clerk’s record. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP.
