IN THE INTEREST OF D.A.A. III, D.A.A., D.A.A., and A.D.A., Children
From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016CI05227 Honorable Nadine Melissa Nieto, Judge Presiding

MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Based on the very limited record before us, we set the clerk's record due on January 16, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1(b). Two days later, the Bexar County District Clerk notified this court that Appellant is not entitled to a free record, and Appellant has not paid the fee for preparing the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
On January 19, 2024, we ordered Appellant Daniel Alderete Jr. to file written proof by January 29, 2024, that either (1) the clerk's fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the clerk's fee, or (2) he is entitled to a free clerk's record. We warned Alderete that if he failed to respond as ordered, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See id.
On January 22, 2024, representing himself, Alderete filed a "Petitioner's Proposed Order for Modification of Parent-Child Relationship and Parenting Plan."
Alderete's January 22, 2024 proposed order is neither written proof that he has made arrangements to pay the clerk's fee nor proof that he is entitled to a free record.
Alderete has failed to comply with our January 19, 2024 order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c).
All pending requests for relief are denied.
