On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 4 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1087493
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from a judgment signed February 28, 2017. The notice of appeal was filed March 9, 2017. To date, our records show appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying costs); Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 51.207 (West 2013). On April 20, 2017, this court ordered appellant to pay the appellate filing fee by May 1, 2017, or the appeal would be dismissed. The filing fee has not been paid.
Further, no clerk's record has been filed. The clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the court appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record. On May 2, 2017, the court notified all parties of the court's intention to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within fifteen days, appellant paid or made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court with proof of payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). No such proof has been filed.
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Jamison and Busby.
