On Appeal from the 410th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 21-10-14731-CV __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Carvis Andre Williams Sr. filed a notice of appeal from a final

decree of divorce, which the trial court signed on October 5, 2022. On February 3,

2023, the District Clerk notified the Court that Appellant is not entitled to appeal

without paying the fee and had failed to pay or to arrange to pay for the clerk’s record

in his appeal. On that same day, we notified the parties that the clerk’s record had

not been filed and we warned Appellant that we would dismiss the appeal unless he

arranged to pay the fee required to file the clerk’s record or he explained that he

1 needed additional time to do so by March 6, 2023. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). None

of the parties responded to the Court’s notice.

In the absence of a satisfactory explanation justifying Appellant’s failure to

arrange to pay for a clerk’s record to support his appeal, we dismiss the appeal for

want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3, 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
