                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
   Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Silva
             Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides

       This cause is before the Court on its own motion. On June 28, 2021, the Clerk of

the Court notified appellant that the appeal has not been timely perfected, so that steps

could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the

defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of the Court’s letter, the appeal
would be dismissed. Furthermore, on July 16, 2021, the Clerk of the Court notified

appellant he was delinquent in remitting the $205.00 filing fee and, if the fee is not paid

within 10 days, the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to cure the defect,

failed to respond to this Court’s notices, and failed to pay the filing fee.

       The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and

appellant’s failure to timely perfect his appeal, is of the opinion that the appeal should be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed for want of

jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a)(c).

                                                                         GINA BENAVIDES
                                                                         Justice

Delivered and filed on the
26th day of August, 2021.
