Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-23-01037-CV

Pedro RODRIGUEZ, Appellant

v.

Veronica RODRIGUEZ, Appellee

From the County Court at Law, Starr County, Texas Trial Court No. CC-16-60 Honorable Orlando Rodriguez, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Beth Watkins, Justice Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

Delivered and Filed: January 17, 2024

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

The clerk’s record was originally due December 11, 2023, but was not filed. The district

clerk filed a notification of late record, stating that the clerk’s record was not filed because

appellant had failed to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the record and was not entitled to appeal

without paying the fee. On December 12, 2023, we ordered appellant to provide written proof to

this court by December 22, 2023 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 04-23-01037-CV

fee. In our order, we cautioned appellant that if he failed to respond within the time provided, we

would dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b).

Appellant did not respond to our December 12, 2023 order. Accordingly, we dismiss this

appeal for want of prosecution. See id.
