DEE SIREK,

SOUTHWESTERN CORRECTIONAL, LLC
D/B/A LASALLE CORRECTIONS, LLC,
                                                           Appellees

                          From the 18th District Court
                             Johnson County, Texas
                         Trial Court No. DC-C202100256

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Dee Sirek, filed a notice of appeal in this Court on November 6, 2023.

On December 5, 2023, and again on January 8, 2023, we received notice from the Johnson

County Clerk's Office stating that the Clerk has not received payment for the clerk's

record.

      On February 13, 2024, we notified Appellant that, if he desires to proceed with this

appeal, he must pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee and notify this Court of
the actions taken within twenty-one days after the date of the letter. We warned that the

failure to do so could result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. More than

twenty-one days have passed since our February 13, 2024 letter, and we have not received

any response from Appellant regarding the Clerk's Record.

       If an appellant fails to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for

preparation of the record, this Court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution

unless the appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c). To date, the record does not reflect that Appellant has paid or

arranged to pay for the Clerk's Record or that Appellant is entitled to proceed without

payment of costs.

       Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.

                                                       STEVE SMITH
