                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Stoddart
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       This Court may dismiss an appeal for failure to file a clerk's record if the reason is

because an appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing

the record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). On August 6, 2015, the District Clerk of Dallas County

informed the Court that the clerk’s record had been prepared but was being held for non-payment

of fees. By letter dated August 11, 2015, the Court instructed appellant to file, within ten days,

either written verification that appellant had paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk's fee or

written documentation that appellant had been found to be entitled to proceed without payment

of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to provide the required documentation within the

time requested may result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.

37.3(b).
       As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b)–(c).
