MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Tariq Alabbassi, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s

January 31, 2024 final judgment. Appellant has neither paid the required fees nor

established indigence for purposes of costs. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145; TEX. R. APP.

P. 5, 20.1; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207, 51.208, 51.851(b), 51.941(a); Order, Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals,

and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation, Misc. Docket No.

15-9158 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2015). On April 10, 2024, appellant was notified that this

appeal was subject to dismissal if appellate costs were not paid, or indigence was not

established, by May 10, 2024. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). Appellant did not

adequately respond.

Further, appellant has not paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the

preparation of the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). On May 8, 2024,

appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if appellant did not

submit written evidence that he had paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the

preparation of the clerk’s record by June 7, 2024. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).

Appellant did not adequately respond.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for nonpayment of all required fees and

want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(b), (c), 43.2(f). We dismiss any

pending motions as moot.
