             On appeal from the 197th District Court
                   of Willacy County, Texas.

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
              Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellants, Mae Fields and Thomas Betts, et al., perfected an appeal from a

judgment rendered against them in favor of appellees, Corrections Corporation of

American and Warden Orlando Perez.     On November 5, 2012, the Clerk of this Court

notified appellants that the clerk's record in the above cause was originally due on
October 17, 2012, and that the district clerk, Gilbert Lozano, had notified this Court that

appellants failed to make arrangements for payment of the clerk's record. The Clerk of

this Court notified appellants of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the

defect, if it could be done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c).         Appellants were

advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this

notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution.

       Appellants have failed to respond to this Court’s notice. Accordingly, the appeal

is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).



                                                  PER CURIAM


Delivered and filed the
13th day of December, 2012.
