------------ FROM THE 96TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT ------------ On the court=s own motion, the above causes are hereby consolidated in this court. Each cause shall continue to bear its respective case number.

On January 13, 2012, we notified appellants that the trial court clerk responsible for preparing the record in the above appeals informed the court that payment arrangements had not been made to pay for the clerk’s record as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 35.3(a)(2). See Tex. R. App. P.

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

35.3(a)(2). We stated that we would dismiss these appeals for want of prosecution unless appellants made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record and provided this court with proof of payment.

Because appellants have not made payment arrangements for the clerk’s record, it is the opinion of the court that these appeals should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).

Appellants shall pay all costs of the appeals, for which let execution issue.
