DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           On June 24, 2019, 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.

In response, we ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court on or before July 8, 2019,

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 file an appropriate response within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed.
                                                                                      04-19-00406-CV

See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if clerk’s record is not filed due to

appellant’s fault); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing dismissal of appeal if appellant fails

to comply with an order of this court). Appellant failed to file an appropriate response. Therefore,

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