MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

Appellant Johnny Vasquez filed a notice of appeal in this court on May 25, 2021. Appellant was required to pay $205.00 in filing fees to this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. Appellant did not timely pay the required fees. On July 2, 2021, when the fees remained unpaid, we ordered Appellant to provide written proof to this court not later than July 12, 2021, that the filing fees have been paid or Appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fees. See id. We warned Appellant that if he failed to respond as ordered, the appeal would be dismissed without further notice. See id. R. 5, 42.3; In re W.J.C., No. 04-05-00532-CV, 2005 WL 3477883, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio Dec. 21, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.).
