                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Molberg, Carlyle, and Browning
                           Opinion by Justice Carlyle
      The clerk’s record in this case is past due. By letter dated June 12, 2020, we

informed appellant the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant had not

paid for the clerk’s record. We directed appellant to provide, within ten days, (1)

verification of payment or arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record, or (2) written

documentation that appellant had been found entitled to proceed without payment of
costs.1 We cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of

this appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not provided the required

documentation, nor otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of

this appeal.

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

200561F.P05

    1
       Our record contains a statement of inability to pay filed in this Court on June 8, 2020. By letter dated
June 15, 2020 we informed appellant that pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, he could
proceed without payment of the appellate court filing fees, but costs for the record were governed by Texas
Rule of Civil Procedure 145. Our record does not show appellant filed a statement of inability to pay in the
trial court as required by rule 145.
