GEORGE TEEL, Appellant
V.
NATIONAL FUNDING, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 5th District Court Cass County, Texas Trial Court No. 19C505
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rambin MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, George Teel, filed his notice of appeal in this matter on April 8, 2025.
Appellant is not indigent and is, thus, responsible for paying or making adequate arrangements to
pay the clerk’s fees and court reporter’s fees for preparing the records. See TEX. R. APP. P.
37.3(b), (c). The appellate record in this appeal was due to be filed with this Court on or before
May 13, 2025. The district clerk notified this Court that Appellant had neither paid for nor made
adequate arrangements to pay for preparation of the clerk’s record. Likewise, the court reporter
informed this Court that she had not received a designation or payment for the reporter’s record.
By letter dated May 14, 2025, the clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the clerk’s
record was late due to his failure to pay the fee and that the court reporter had not received a
designation or payment for the reporter’s record. The Court gave Appellant until May 27, 2025,
to cure the defects. Further, we warned Appellant that, if we did not receive an adequate
response to our letter within ten days of the date of the letter, 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 communication from Appellant responsive to our May 14
correspondence, and the records were not filed. Consequently, this appeal is ripe for dismissal.
Pursuant to Rule 37.3, subsections (b) and (c), and Rule 42.3(b), we dismiss this appeal for want
of prosecution. See id.
