                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Osborne, Nowell, and Smith
                           Opinion by Justice Nowell
      The filing fee, docketing statement, and clerk’s record in this case have not

been filed. By postcards dated May 10, 2022 and July 28, 2022, we notified

appellant the $205 filing fee was due. We directed appellant to remit the filing fee

within ten days and expressly cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result

in dismissal of the appeal. Also by postcard dated May 10, 2022, we informed

appellant the docketing statement in this case was due. We cautioned appellant that

failure to file the docketing statement within ten days might result in the dismissal

of this appeal without further notice. On August 30, 2022, we sent a letter informing
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, verification he had

either paid for or made arrangements to pay for the record or was entitled to proceed

without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result

in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not paid

the filing fee, filed the docketing statement, provided the required documentation,

or 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).
