Murphy IV, Kelly Ann Murphy Young, Elizabeth Ann Crofford Smith, Avery Claire Crofford, and William T. Crofford, filed a notice of appeal from a final Order Regarding Inventory and Life Estate, signed on March 8, 2023. On July 6, 2023, we notified the parties that the clerk’s record had not been filed due to Appellants’ failure to pay, or to arrange to pay, the County Clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record and warned that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless Appellants established that they had arranged to pay the fee or that they needed additional time to do so. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). On 1 August 8, 2023, the County Clerk notified this Court that Appellants failed to pay for the clerk’s record. In the absence of a satisfactory explanation justifying Appellants’ failure to arrange to pay for a clerk’s record to support their appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3, 43.2(f). APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on August 30, 2023 Opinion Delivered August 31, 2023 Before Golemon, C.J., Johnson and Wright, JJ. 2
