       Appellants, John Ruff and Catherine Loth, Individually and as Next Friends of
A.R., a Minor Child, have filed a motion to extend the deadline to file the clerk’s and

that the court reporter responsible for preparing the reporter’s record had informed the
Court that appellants had not paid, or made arrangements to pay, for the reporter’s record
and directed appellants to provide proof that they had paid, or made arrangements to pay,
for the reporter’s record or are entitled to proceed without payment of costs by January
17, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(b), 37.3(c). The Clerk of this Court also notified the
trial court clerk and the parties that a clerk’s record had not been timely filed and
requested the trial court clerk, no later than January 19, 2018, to file the clerk’s record or
advise the Court if appellants had not made arrangements to pay for preparation of the
clerk’s record. See id. 35.3(a), 37.3(a)(1). Accordingly, we dismiss as moot appellants’
motion to extend the time for filing the clerk’s record and reporter’s record in this
appeal.1
       It is so ORDERED.
