John Click and Kristen Click v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services ( 2010 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-10-00333-CV Elias De La Garza d/b/a Elias De La Garza Insurance, Appellant v. Texas Department of Insurance and Commissioner of Insurance Mike Geeslin, Appellees FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 126TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-GN-10-000643, HONORABLE RHONDA HURLEY, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION The clerk’s record in this appeal was due in this Court on August 2, 2010. On August 30, 2010, appellant was notified that no clerk’s record had been filed due to his failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the district clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. The notice requested that appellant make arrangements for the clerk’s record and submit a status report regarding this appeal by September 9, 2010. Appellant has not filed a status report or otherwise indicated that he has arranged for preparation of the clerk’s record. If the trial court clerk fails to file the clerk’s record due to appellant’s failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the record, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of costs. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Because appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. __________________________________________ Diane M.
