Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00354-CV

Texan Urgent Care, PLLC, Appellant

v.

Brenda Casanova and Jeanna Casanova, as Wrongful Death Beneficiaries of Jonathan Casanova, Deceased, Appellees

FROM THE 455TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-GN-23-008425, THE HONORABLE BARBARA L. WALTHER, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The clerk’s record in this appeal was due for filing in this Court on May 30, 2025.

On June 2, we notified Appellant that no clerk’s record had been filed due to its failure to pay or

make arrangements to pay the trial clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. The notice

requested that Appellant make arrangements for the clerk’s record and submit a status report

regarding this appeal by June 12. Further, the notice advised Appellant that its failure to comply

with this request could result in the dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. To date,

Appellant has not filed a status report or otherwise responded to this Court’s notice, and the

clerk’s record has not been filed.

If a trial-court clerk fails to file the clerk’s record due to an appellant’s failure to

pay or make arrangements to pay for the clerk’s fee for preparing the record, the appellate court

may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of costs. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). In this case, Appellant has not established

that it is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. Because

Appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s

record, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
