MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Northern Texas/Northern Louisiana Synod, Earl Eliason, and Mark B. Herbener, appellants (collectively "Northern Texas"), have appealed from a judgment rendered against them in this civil lawsuit filed by Jane Alfred Doe, et al. No record has been filed in this appeal. According to Northern Texas' notice of appeal, the trial court rendered judgment February 10, 2005, following a jury trial. According to Northern Texas' docketing statement, Northern Texas filed a motion for new trial. Northern Texas filed a notice of appeal May 6, 2005.
The clerk's record and reporter's record were due to be filed with this Court on or before June 10, 2005. See Tex.R.App.P. 26.1, 35.3. Northern Texas does not claim to be indigent and was thus responsible for paying or making adequate arrangements to pay the costs for preparing the records. See Tex.R.App.P. 35.3(a), (b); 37.3(b), (c). The record is now more than thirty days overdue. On June 24, 2005, we contacted Northern Texas by letter. We gave appellants an opportunity to cure the defect and warned them that, if we did not receive an adequate response within ten days, this appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(b), (c).
No record has been filed, and despite our warning, Northern Texas has provided this Court with no information to indicate that a record will be provided.
Pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(b), we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
