MEMORANDUM OPINION

Jessie James Hayes, Appellant, filed a notice of appeal from a final judgment

signed on July 20, 2021. Appellant paid the filing fee for the appeal. On November

29, 2021, we notified the parties that the clerk’s record had not been filed due to

Appellant’s failure to pay, or to arrange to pay, the District Clerk’s fee for preparing

the clerk’s record and warned that the appeal would be dismissed for want of

prosecution unless Appellant established that he had arranged to pay the fee or that

he needed additional time to do so. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Neither of the parties

filed a response to our notice.

1 In the absence of a satisfactory explanation justifying Appellant’s failure to

arrange to pay for a clerk’s record to support his appeal, we dismiss the appeal for

want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3, 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
