You need to file a Request for Clerk's Entry of Default, on the First Amended Petition, and then submit a default judgment package to the court.
Actually, as I review my previous response, the first issue is whether you served the First Amended Petition. If not, you will need to serve that, and an amended summons. Then you will need to file proof of that service with the court.
