DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           On April 13, 2023, the trial court clerk filed a notification of late record, stating that the

appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the clerk’s record.

On April 25, 2023, we ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court within ten days that

either (1) the clerk’s fee 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 warned that if appellant

failed to respond, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant failed to

respond. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b)
                                                                                   04-23-00066-CV

(allowing appellate courts to dismiss an appeal for want of prosecution when an appellant fails to

pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the clerk’s record); see also TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.3(c) (allowing appellate courts to dismiss an appeal when an appellant fails to comply with

a court order).
