This appeal is being dismissed because Appellants have failed, after notice, to pay or make arrangements to pay the trial court clerk s fee for preparing the clerk s record. The judgment was signed on August 15, 2005, and Appellants timely filed a motion for new trial. They then filed their notice of appeal on November 4, 2005. The clerk s record was due on or before January 12, 2006. On January 9, 2006, the clerk notified this Court by letter that the reason for the delay in filing was that Appellants failed to either pay or make arrangements to pay for the preparing of the clerk s record. On January 12, 2005, this Court informed Appellants that, pursuant to rules of appellate procedure 37.3(b) and 42.3(c), the appeal would be dismissed unless proof of full payment to the clerk was provided on or before January 23, 2006.

Appellants have not provided the required proof of payment. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(c).
