GLENN WINNINGHAM; HOUSE OF FEARN, Appellant

V.

JOE SHANNON, JR., THOMAS A. WILDER, AND CHRIS PONDER, Appellees

On Appeal from the 67th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 67-263565-13

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Glenn Winningham; House of Fearn, appellant, filed his notice of appeal March 21,

2013. 1 The clerk’s record in this matter was due to be filed with this Court on or before May 6,

2013. When the clerk’s record had not been filed by May 6, our clerk’s office contacted the

district clerk and was informed that no payment and no arrangement for payment for the record’s

preparation had been made by Winningham.

Winningham is not indigent and is, therefore, responsible for payment of the fees related

to preparation of the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1, 35.3(a)(2), (b)(3), 37.3(b). By

letter dated June 7, 2013, and pursuant to Rules 37.3(b) and 42.3(b) of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure, we provided Winningham notice of and an opportunity to cure this defect.

Further, we warned Winningham that, if we did not receive an adequate response to our defect

letter within ten days, this appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).

1 Originally appealed to the Second Court of Appeals, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to Section 73.001 of the Texas Government Code. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (West 2013). We are unaware of any conflict between precedent of the Second Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.

2 We have received no communication from Winningham responsive to our June 7

correspondence. Pursuant to Rules 37.3(b) and 42.3(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See id.

Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice
