                    On Appeal from the 10th District Court
                          Galveston County, Texas
                      Trial Court Case No. 22-TX-0043

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Jazzie Womack, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s July

14, 2023 judgment. Appellant has neither established indigence for purposes of

costs nor paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the preparation of the clerk’s
record. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145; TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(a), 37.3(b). On September 12,

2023, appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if she did not

submit written evidence that she had paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for

the preparation of the clerk’s record by October 12, 2023. See TEX. R. APP. P.

37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c). Appellant did not adequately respond.

      Based on appellant’s failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for

preparing the clerk’s record, appellees, Galveston County, Galveston Independent

School District, City of Galveston, Galveston College, and Galveston County

Navigation District No. 1, filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution. More than ten days have passed, and appellant has not adequately

responded to the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a).

      Accordingly, we grant appellees’ motion and dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c), 43.2(f). All pending motions

are dismissed as moot.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Guerra and Farris.
