NUMBER 13-17-00465-CV COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________ PATRICIA ARNOLD, Appellant, v. CITY OF VICTORIA, TEXAS, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________ On appeal from the 267th District Court of Victoria County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Longoria Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rodriguez Appellant, Patricia Arnold, appealed a judgment entered by the 267th District Court of Victoria County, Texas. On August 21, 2017, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.5(e). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(e). The Clerk directed appellant to file an amended notice of appeal with the district clerk's office within 30 days from the date of that notice. On September 27, 2017, the Clerk notified appellant that the defect had not been corrected and warned appellant that the appeal would be dismissed if the defect was not cured within ten days. Appellant has not responded to the notice from the Clerk or corrected the defect. An appellate court may dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b),(c). The Court, having considered the documents on file, and appellant’s failure to correct the defect, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution and failure to comply with a notice from the Court. See id. NELDA V. RODRIGUEZ Justice Delivered and filed the 19th day of October, 2017. 2
