in the Interest of L.M.S. ( 2020 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-20-00019-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF L.M.S.
From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018CI06224
Honorable Cathleen M. Stryker, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Beth Watkins, Justice
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 11, 2020
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
The clerk’s record was originally due February 10, 2020, but was not filed. On February
12, 2020, the district clerk filed a notification of late record, stating that the clerk’s record was not
filed 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 February 13, 2020, we ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court by
February 24, 2020 that either: (1) the clerk’s fee had been paid or arrangements had been made to
pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) she was entitled to appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. We cautioned
appellant that if she failed to respond within the time provided, her appeal would be dismissed for
want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). Appellant has not filed a response, and our
04-20-00019-CV
clerk’s office contacted the Bexar County District Clerk’s office and was advised no payment had
been received.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. We order that
appellee recover his costs of this appeal, if any, from appellant.
