See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). On August 6, 2015, the District Clerk of Dallas County informed the Court that the clerk’s record had been prepared but was being held for non-payment of fees. By letter dated August 11, 2015, the Court instructed appellant to file, within ten days, either written verification that appellant had paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk's fee or written documentation that appellant had been found to be entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to provide the required documentation within the time requested may result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.
