CHRISTOPHER JONES, AND/OR ALL OCCUPANTS OF 109 EVENING STAR CIR, RED OAK, TX 75154, Appellants

V.

TAH TEXAS SERVICES, LLC, D/B/A TRICON RESIDENTIAL, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law Ellis County, Texas Trial Court No. 25-C-4119

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Christopher Jones, filed his notice of appeal1 in this matter on March 5, 2026.

The appellate record in this appeal was due to be filed with this Court on or before April 24,

2026. Both the county clerk and the court reporter in this matter informed our clerk’s office that

Appellant had neither made nor arranged payment for the preparation of these records.

Appellant is not indigent and is therefore responsible for payment of the fees for

preparing the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1; 35.3(a)(2), (b)(3); 37.3(b), (c). By

letter dated May 4, 2026, the clerk of this Court notified Appellant of this defect and afforded

him an opportunity to cure it. We also warned Appellant that if we did not receive an adequate

response to our letter within ten days of its date, this appeal would be subject to dismissal for

want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), (c); 42.3(b). We received no response from

Appellant to our May 4 correspondence. Consequently, this appeal is ripe for dismissal.

Therefore, pursuant to Rule 37.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, subsections

(b) and (c), and Rule 42.3(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal

for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), (c); 42.3(b)

1 Originally appealed to the Tenth Court of Appeals, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (Supp.). We are unaware of any conflict between precedent of the Tenth Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3. 2
