MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be
dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that the clerk’s record has not been filed because
Appellant, Jose Manuel Sanchez III, has failed to make financial arrangements to pay for the
clerk’s record, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
The El Paso County District Clerk notified the Court that Appellant has not made financial
arrangements to pay for preparation of the clerk’s record as required by TEX.R.APP.P. 35.3(a)(2).
The Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the Court intended to dismiss the appeal for want
of prosecution unless Appellant responded within ten days and showed grounds for continuing the
appeal. See TEX.R.APP.P. 37.3(b). Appellant has not filed any response establishing that he is
entitled to appeal without paying for the clerk’s record or that he has made arrangements to pay
for preparation of the clerk’s record. We conclude that the clerk’s record has not been filed due to
the fault of the Appellant. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See
TEX.R.APP.P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c).
