appellant’s failure to remit a filing fee. On March 9, 2021, the Clerk of the Court notified

appellant that he was delinquent in remitting a $205.00 filing fee in each appeal. The clerk

notified appellant that the appeals were subject to dismissal if the filing fees were not paid

within ten days from the date of receipt of this letter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).

       This Court has the authority to dismiss an appeal for want of prosecution or

because the appellant has failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules, a

court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a

specified time. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c); Smith v. DC Civil Constr., LLC, 521 S.W.3d 75, 76

(Tex. App.—San Antonio 2017, no pet.). Appellant has failed to respond to this Court’s

notices and has failed to pay the filing fees for these appeals. Accordingly, the appeals

are dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
