                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Zion Builders Limited Liability Company d/b/a Zion Builders appealed from

a final judgment, signed on June 23, 2021. But after that, Zion Builders failed to pay

or arrange to pay the fee charged by the District Clerk to prepare a clerk’s record to

support the appeal. On October 22, 2021, we notified the parties that the District

Clerk had not filed a record, and we warned the parties the appeal would be

dismissed for want of prosecution unless Zion Builders explained why it needed

                                          1
more time to pay for the clerk’s record since that record was required to support its

appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).

      We received no response to that notice. In the absence of an explanation

justifying its failure to arrange to have the record of the proceedings that it needs to

support its appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See id. 37.3(b),

42.3, 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
