Because appellants Jonnie Peck and the Estate of John Robert Peck have neither paid nor made arrangements to pay for the clerk's record, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2).

The Clerk of this Court filed appellants' Notice of Appeal on May 16, 2000. By letter dated August 3, 2000, the Clerk of this Court notified the district clerk's office of Travis County that the clerk's record was overdue. Notice was received from the district clerk's office on August 9, 2000 that the clerk's record had not been paid for, nor had arrangements for payment been made.

By letter dated October 3, 2000, appellants were requested to submit a status report regarding this matter by October 18, 2000 and were informed 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.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See id. 42.3(b).
