                                        NO. 03-09-00216-CV

                                  J. Stephen Spencer, Appellant

                                                   v.

                                  Jonathan M. Gilbert, Appellee

    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BLANCO COUNTY, 424TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
          NO. CV-6721, HONORABLE DANIEL H. MILLS, JUDGE PRESIDING

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

               J. Stephen Spencer, appearing pro se, appeals a final judgment that was signed on

April 9, 2009. The clerk’s record was due on June 8, 2009. On July 16, 2009, appellant was notified

that no clerk’s record had been filed due to his failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s

fee for preparing the clerk’s record. On August 10, 2009, the trial court clerk confirmed that

appellant still had not paid or made arrangements to pay for preparation of the record.

               If the trial court fails to file the clerk’s record due to appellant’s failure to pay or make

arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record, the appellate court may dismiss

the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of

costs. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
               Because appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for

preparing the clerk’s record, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.1
