DALE AND LISA TURNER, Appellants v. SCOTT ASBJORNSON, Appellee
On Appeal from the 188th District Court Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-1940-A Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Dale and Lisa Turner (the Turners) timely filed a notice of appeal October 13, 2015. By letter dated October 14, 2015, counsel for the Turners advised this Court that "Plaintiffs [were] withdrawing their appeal." Since that time, the Turners have made no further effort to prosecute this appeal. The Turners have failed to file a docketing statement pursuant to Rule 32.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, see TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1, and have likewise failed to pay the filing fee pursuant to Rule 5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, see TEX. R. APP. P. 5.
Although this Court requested that counsel for the Turners file a motion to dismiss the appeal, no such motion was filed. --------
By letter dated November 13, 2015, we warned the Turners that, unless we received information showing that they were making a substantial and tangible effort to prosecute this appeal by filing a docketing statement and paying the filing fee on or before November 23, 2015, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
Since we have received no response to this Court's letter of November 13, 2015, the Turners' appeal is ripe for dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules 38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
