V.
SPRING INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Appellee
On Appeal from the 151st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2010-69231
Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Charles Bloomfield and Nikita A. Bloomfield, appellants, filed a notice of appeal in this
matter on April 29, 2021.1 The clerk’s record was due to be filed in this case on or before
February 21, 2012. Appellants are not indigent and are thus responsible for paying or making
adequate arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the record. See TEX. R. APP. P.
37.3(b). The district clerk has informed this Court that the fee has not been paid for the
preparation of the clerk’s record.
By letter dated May 4, 2021, appellants were provided with notice of and an opportunity
to cure this defect. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). The clerk’s letter further warned appellants
that, if they did not submit an adequate response to the notice by June 3, 2021, this appeal would
be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution and for failure to comply with the above-cited
rules. Appellants have not paid for the preparation of the clerk’s record and have not filed proof
of indigency. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. Further, we have received no communication from
appellants responsive to the May 4 correspondence. Accordingly, this appeal is ripe for
dismissal.
