App. P. 47.4. years. Wright timely filed a motion for new trial in August 2017 and timely filed a notice of appeal in September 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a)(2). We did not receive the notice of appeal from the county clerk until March 2018. After we received the notice of appeal, the county clerk and the trial court’s court reporter each informed us that Wright had not requested or arranged to pay for the preparation of a record. Accordingly, we sent Wright a letter informing him that he had not arranged for the preparation of the record and that we would dismiss his appeal unless he did so by June 25, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. He has not responded to our letter and has not arranged for the preparation of the record. Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 43.2(f); Sutherland v. State, 132 S.W.3d 510, 512 (Tex.
