In The Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01- 25-00240-CV ——————————— ALMA BANKS BROWN, Appellant V. SHERRY DORINDA FAULKNER, DEPENDENT ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF AUDREY BANKS, DECEASED, Appellee
On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1245417
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Alma Banks Brown, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal
challenging the trial court’s Final Judgment and Order of Possession. The clerk’s record
was due on May 19, 2025. On June 27, 2025, the trial court clerk filed an Information Sheet stating she had
notified Appellant that the clerk’s record was ready as of April 4, 2025, but Appellant had
made no payment arrangements. On May 20, 2025, we notified Appellant that her appeal
could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the clerk’s record was not filed. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 37.3(b). We directed Appellant to submit written evidence from the trial court clerk
by June 19, 2025, reflecting payment of the fee for preparing the clerk’s record or
arrangements to pay the fee. See id.
On June 24, 2025, Appellee Sherry Dorinda Faulkner, dependent administrator of
the estate of Audrey Banks, deceased, filed a Motion to Dismiss seeking dismissal of the
appeal for failure to pay for the clerk’s record. She stated Appellant’s “Motion to Order
Clerk[’]s Record[] and Request for Payment Arrangement” requesting “payment
arrangements to be made[,]” was insufficient and did not demonstrate that she had made
payment arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record.
Appellant has not adequately responded to this Court’s notice and to date, the clerk’s
record has not been filed.
We grant Appellee’s motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b)–(c). We dismiss any other pending
motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Guiney, and Morgan.
