Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-26-00140-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF E.L.G., a Child

From the County Court at Law No. 1, Webb County, Texas Trial Court No. 2024FLI000656C1 Honorable Belinda Mendez, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 20, 2026

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

The clerk’s record was originally due on April 20, 2026. On that date, the trial court clerk

filed a Notification of Late Record stating appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay

the clerk’s fee for preparing the record and that appellant was not entitled to appeal without paying

the fee. We therefore ordered appellant to provide written proof by May 4, 2026 that either (1) the

clerk’s fee had been paid or arrangements had been made to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) appellant

was entitled to appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. In our order, we cautioned appellant that if

he failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). 04-26-00140-CV

Appellant did not respond to our order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of

prosecution.
