arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record and proof of payment was provided to the Court within ten days, the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). Appellant has failed to respond or otherwise provide the requested documentation.

No clerk’s record has been filed due to appellant’s failure to pay or make payment arrangements, and appellant has failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court requiring a response or other action within the time specified; accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
