On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1222386

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Chapman Crossings filed its notice of appeal on April 3, 2024.

Appellant did not pay its appellate filing fee or establish indigence for purposes of

appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1. The Clerk of this Court notified

Appellant that unless it paid the appellate filing fee by July 1, 2024, its appeal could be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). To date, Appellant has not paid the

appellate filing fee nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs.

Appellant also failed to pay, or make arrangements to pay, the fee for

preparing the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145; TEX. R. APP. P. 34.1. We

notified Appellant that its appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the

clerk’s record was not filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a), (b). We directed Appellant

to submit written evidence from the trial court clerk by July 17, 2024, reflecting it

paid, or made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparing the clerk’s record. To date,

Appellant has not responded to this Court’s notice and the clerk’s record has not

been filed.

We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b),

42.3(b)–(c). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
