YOLANDA WILLIAMS, Appellant V. DAN WILLEMS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-17-02713-D

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Myers Yolanda Williams filed her notice of appeal on May 26, 2017. By postcard dated June 1,

2017, we notified Williams that the Court’s $205 filing fee had not been paid. We instructed her

to pay the fee within ten days and cautioned her that the failure to do so might result in dismissal

of the appeal. To date, the filing fee has not been paid.

The clerk’s record was due on July 23, 2017. On July 18, the Dallas County Clerk

notified us that the clerk’s record was ready to be filed but that Williams had not yet paid for the

record. That same day, we sent Williams a letter, instructing her to file, within ten days, written

verification that she had paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the clerk’s record or

written documentation that she had been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We

cautioned Williams that the failure to comply might result in the dismissal of her appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). As of today, the clerk’s record has not been filed,

and Williams has not filed a response to our letter or otherwise communicated with the Court.

In light of Williams’s failures detailed above, we dismiss this appeal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c).
