IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-23-00247-CV

JANETH R. REYES, ARLIS N. CASTELLANOS REYES, AND MASTER PRO EMERGENCY FLOOD RESPONSE, INC., Appellants v.

RAINBOW INTERNATIONAL LLC AND RAINBOW INTERNATIONAL SPV LLC, Appellees

From the 74th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022-270-3

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Janeth R. Reyes and Arlis N. Castellanos Reyes, acting pro se, filed a notice of

appeal on behalf of “[t]he defendants” in this case, which includes themselves and Master

Pro Emergency Flood Response, Inc. (Master Pro).

On January 10, 2024, the Clerk of this Court sent a letter to Janeth and Arlis,

notifying them that the clerk’s record in this cause had apparently not been filed because

they had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparation of the record. The letter further notified Janeth and Arlis that if they desired to proceed with

this appeal, they were required to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee and

notify this Court of the actions taken within twenty-one days of the date of the letter or

this appeal might be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b).

To date, no one has paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee.

On February 28, 2024, the Clerk of this Court also sent a letter to the parties,

notifying them that, generally, corporations may be represented only by licensed

attorneys. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., USA, 937 S.W.2d 455, 456

(Tex. 1996) (per curiam). The letter further notified the parties that unless a licensed

attorney filed a notice of appearance on behalf of Master Pro within ten days of the date

of the letter, Master Pro would be dismissed from this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).

To date, the Court has not received a notice of appearance or any other response

on behalf of Master Pro.

For these reasons, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id.
