MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Silva, Peña, and Cron Memorandum Opinion by Justice Silva

On April 3, 2025, appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal the

judgment rendered in trial court cause number 2022-CCL-00258 on March 5, 2025. On

April 7, 2025, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal was

defective and failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(d)(2), as it

appears the judgment was entered on March 6, 2025. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(d)(2). Appellant was instructed to correct the defect within ten days from the date of the notice.

Appellant was further notified to remit the $205.00 filing fee within ten days from the date

of the notice.

On May 7, 2025, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant of the delinquent filing

fee; appellant was further notified that if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from

the date of the notice, the appeal would be dismissed. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c). On May 16,

2025, the Clerk of the Court again notified appellant that the notice of appeal was

defective and failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(d)(2). See id.

R.25.1(d)(2). Appellant was further notified that if he failed to cure the defects within ten

days from the date of the letter, the appeal would be dismissed. See id. R.42.3(b), (c).

Appellant has not cured the defective notice of appeal, paid the filing fee, nor

otherwise responded to the notices from the Clerk of the Court 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).
