MEMORANDUM OPINION

Shaun Nicholas St. John, acting pro se, filed a notice of accelerated appeal from an order denying a motion for a temporary injunction. On June 29, 2026, the Clerk notified the parties that the record was due July 9, 2026. On July 10, 2026, the trial court clerk notified this Court that no payment arrangements for the record have been made. We notified the parties that Appellant had not established indigent status, and that the clerk’s record had not been filed due to Appellant’s failure to pay or to

2

arrange to pay the fee required to prepare the clerk’s record. We warned Appellant that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless Appellant established that he had made the arrangements required to pay the fee or that he needed more time to do so. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). After the Clerk of this Court sent the parties a letter warning of the consequences of a failure to take the action necessary to file the clerk’s record, the Court did not receive a response.

Appellant has not explained why he has not paid the fee for the clerk’s record;

therefore, we dismiss the accelerated appeal for want of prosecution. Id. 42.3(c), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
