MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant Quincy Blakely filed his notice of appeal on January 29, 2018.
On April 11, 2018, we notified Blakely that the trial court clerk responsible for
preparing the record in this appeal had informed this court that payment
arrangements had not been made to pay for the clerk’s record. See Tex. R. App.
P. 35.3(a)(2). We stated that we would dismiss this appeal for want of

prosecution unless Blakely, by April 23, 2018, made arrangements to pay for the
clerk’s record and provided this court with proof of payment. See Tex. R. App. P.
37.3(b). Blakely filed a motion for extension of time to make arrangements to
pay for the clerk’s record and to provide this court with proof of payment, and the
motion was granted, extending the deadline until May 25, 2018. On June 11,
2018, we received a letter from the trial court clerk stating that Blakely had failed
to pay or to make arrangements to pay the entire balance of the clerk’s fee for
preparing the clerk’s record.
Because Blakely has not made payment arrangements for the clerk’s
record, it is the opinion of the court that the appeal should be dismissed for want
of prosecution. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.
37.3(b), 43.2(f); Sutherland v. State, 132 S.W.3d 510, 512 (Tex. App.—Houston
[1st Dist.] 2004, no pet.).
