                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

       This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.

       On December 4, 2023, the Clerk of this Court sent a letter notifying Appellant that the

Court intended to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution because no financial or other

arrangements for the preparation of the clerk’s record had been made as required by Texas Rule

of Appellate Procedure 35.3(a)(2). See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(a)(2).

       The letter notified Appellant that this appeal would be subject to dismissal on or after ten

days of the date of the notice if Appellant failed to make the required arrangements or show
grounds for continuing the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b) (allowing an appellate court to

dismiss an appeal on its own motion for want of prosecution if the appellant fails to make

arrangements for the preparation of the clerk’s record).

       As of this date, which is more than ten days after the date of the notice, Appellants have

not made arrangements for the clerk’s record or otherwise shown grounds for continuing the

appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
