MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
This Court may dismiss an appeal for failure to file a clerk's record if the reason is
because an appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing
the record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). On August 6, 2015, the District Clerk of Dallas County
informed the Court that the clerk’s record had been prepared but was being held for non-payment
of fees. By letter dated August 11, 2015, the Court instructed appellant to file, within ten days,
either written verification that appellant had paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk's fee or
written documentation that appellant had been found to be entitled to proceed without payment
of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to provide the required documentation within the
time requested may result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.
37.3(b).
As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b)–(c).
