MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 381st Judicial District Court, Starr County, Texas
Trial Court No. 15-CRS-402
Honorable Jose Luis Garza, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
The clerk's record was due to be filed in this appeal on September 8, 2016. On September 8, 2016, the trial court clerk filed a notification of late record stating the clerk's record had not been filed because appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the record and appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee.
On September 9, 2016, appellant was ordered to provide written proof to this court by September 19, 2016 that either: (1) the clerk's fee had been paid or arrangements had been made to pay the clerk's fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the clerk's fee. The order stated if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). Appellant did not respond to this court's order. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id.
The trial court's certificate of notice of appeal shows that appellant is represented on appeal by a retained attorney. --------
