MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-19-00502-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF S.S.M., a Child
From the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018EM507216
Honorable Nick Catoe Jr., Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice
Beth Watkins, Justice
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 16, 2019
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
This appeal arises from a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. In her notice of
appeal, appellant states her desire to appeal the trial court’s custody order.
On September 17, 2019, the trial court clerk filed a notification of late record stating the
clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay
the clerk’s fee for preparing the record and that appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying
the fee. By order dated September 20, 2019, appellant was ordered to provide written proof to this
court no later than September 30, 2019, that either (1) the clerk’s fee had been paid or arrangements
had been made to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the
clerk’s fee. Our order stated that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal
would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(c).
