The cause is before the Court on its own motion. On April 4, 2022, the Clerk of

this Court notified appellant that the clerk’s record in the above cause was originally due

on April 1, 2022, and that the deputy district clerk, Esther Ruiz, had notified this Court that

appellant failed to make arrangements for payment of the clerk’s record. The Clerk of this

Court notified appellant of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if

it could be done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c). Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal

would be dismissed for want of prosecution.

On March 22, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he was delinquent

in remitting a $205.00 filing fee. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the appeal

was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the date of

receipt of this letter. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c).

Appellant has failed to comply with a court order and a notice from the clerk

requiring a response or other action within the time specified; accordingly, the appeal is

dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c).
