PER CURIAM

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Because Jerry Salazar and Cheryl Salazar have neither paid for nor made
arrangements to pay for the clerk's record, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. 
<EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2).</P>

<P>	The Clerk of this Court filed appellants' Notice of Appeal on March 21, 2000.  By
letter dated May 5, 2000, appellants were requested to submit a status report regarding this matter
by May 19, 2000, and that failure to respond to this request would result in this appeal being
dismissed for want of prosecution.  Thus far, appellants have failed to respond to this request.</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
<EM>See</EM> <EM>id.</EM> 42.3(b).</P>
