MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

By order dated July 3, 2024, appellant was instructed to show cause in writing by July 13, 2024, that either: (1) the $205.00 filing fee for this appeal had been paid; or (2) appellant was entitled to appeal without paying the filing fee. Our record contains no evidence that appellant is excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20. Appellant was advised that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee. See id. R. 5, 42.3(c). Appellant did not respond or pay the filing fee.

Additionally, on July 2, 2024, the trial court clerk notified this court that the clerk's record was not filed when it was originally due because appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the record and appellant was not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. On July 3, 2024, this court ordered appellant to show cause in writing by July 13, 2024, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant did not respond. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee and for want of prosecution. See id. R. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
