On Appeal from the 189th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 01-52637
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
This is an appeal from a judgment or order signed November 26, 2001. The clerk=s record was due December 20, 2002, but has not been filed. The Harris County District Clerk=s office notified this Court that appellant had not made arrangements for payment of the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2). Accordingly, this Court notified appellant that unless he provided proof of payment for the record, his appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P.37.3(b).
On December 20, 2002, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file the record in which he stated that he had filed an affidavit of inability to pay costs on appeal, and that the district clerk and court reporter had filed no contest to the affidavit. On January 22, 2003, Darla Turner, the Supervisor for the Civil Post Judgment section of the Harris County District Clerk=s Office, filed an affidavit with this Court stating that there is no affidavit of indigency filed for this appeal. Accordingly, on January 30, 2003, the Court issued an order informing appellant that unless he provided proof of payment for the clerk=s record by February 14, 2003, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P.37.3(b).
Appellant filed a motion requesting the Court set aside its order requiring him to pay for the record and provide proof of payment to this Court and requesting an extension of time to check the district court file. The motion is denied.
Appellant has not provided proof of payment for the record in accordance with this Court=s order of January 30, 2003. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P.37.3(b).
