          The filing fee in this case is past due. By postcards dated December 20, 2012, we

notified appellants the $175 filing fee was due. We directed appellants to remit the filing fee

within ten days and expressly cautioned appellants that failure to do so would result in the

dismissal of the appeal. Further, by postcards also dated December 20, 2012, we notified

appellants the docketing statement had not been filed in this appeal. We directed appellants to

file a docketing statement within ten days and cautioned appellants that failure to do so might

result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellants have not paid the filing fee, filed a

docketing statement, or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this

appeal.
      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b)(c).
