TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-19-00434-CV Jean Onuaguluchi, Appellant v. Ejike Edward Okpa, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW #4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 99-736-FC1, THE HONORABLE BRANDY HALLFORD, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION The clerk’s record in this appeal was due for filing in this Court on July 11, 2019. On July 17, we notified appellant that no clerk’s record had been filed due to her 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 July 29. Further, the notice advised that appellant’s 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 she 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. __________________________________________ Jeff Rose, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Triana and Smith Dismissed for Want of Prosecution Filed: August 8, 2019 2
