On August 8, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal. On August 10, 2022, and on

September 26, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that his notice of appeal

was not in compliance with Texas Rules of Appellant Procedure 9.5(e) and 25.1(d)(4).

See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(e) and 25.1(d)(4). Appellant was also advised, if the defects were

not corrected within ten days, the appeal would be dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). Furthermore, on September 1, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that his

docketing statement was past due.

Appellant has failed to correct the defects in his notice of appeal and has otherwise

not responded to the notices from the clerk requiring a response or other action within the

time specified; accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of

prosecution. See id. 42.3(b), (c).
