Delivered and Filed: June 2, 2021

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           When the trial court clerk filed a notification of late clerk’s record stating that Appellant

Duane Adams had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the clerk’s

record and that the appellant was not entitled to appeal without paying the fee, we ordered Adams

to provide written proof to this court by May 14, 2021 that either (1) the clerk’s fee for preparing

the clerk’s record had been paid or arrangements had been made to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2)

appellant was entitled to appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. We explained that if Adams failed

to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal for want of prosecution if clerk’s record is

not filed due to appellant’s fault); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing dismissal of appeal if
                                                                                    04-21-00088-CV

appellant fails to comply with an order of this court). Adams has failed to file a written response

to our order. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
