MEMORANDUM OPINION
Joshua Del Jennings Sr., Appellant, filed a notice of appeal with the trial
court on July 18, 2016. Despite written notices from this Court and an opportunity
to cure, to date, Appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the filing fee
for the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1. In addition, no clerk’s record has been
filed, and the clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the
Court that Appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record. See Tex. R.
App. P. 37.3(b). We notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless
1
the filing fee was paid and Appellant arranged to file the record. Appellant did not
respond to the Court’s notices.
Appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence on appeal and has not shown
that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.
There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the
appeal, and there being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the clerk’s
record, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b),
42.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
