Opinion issued June 5, 2014.

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

in the Courts of Appeals, and before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 07-9127 (Tex. Aug. 16, 2013). Further, appellant has not paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant did not adequately respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(b), (c).

Additionally, on March 25, 2014, this Court granted appellant’s counsels’

motion to withdraw. Because a corporation may be represented only by a licensed attorney in the prosecution of its appeal, appellant was required to retain licensed counsel if it desired to prosecute its appeal. See MHL Homebuilder LLC v. Dabal/Graphic Resource, No. 14-05-00295-CV, 2005 WL 1404475, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] June 16, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.) (citing Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., U.S.A., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex.1996) and Dell Dev. Corp. v. Best Indus. Uniform Supply Co., 743 S.W.2d 302, 303 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1987, writ denied)). We ordered that any new counsel representing appellant in this appeal file a designation of lead counsel or notice of appearance with the Clerk of this Court by April 14, 2014, and notified appellant that if no such designation or notice was filed, the Court might dismiss the appeal. No such designation or notice has been filed.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c), 43.2(f).

We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
