v.
SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION,
Schlumberger, N.V. a/k/a Schlumberger Limited, and Jose Salazar Jr.,
Appellees
From the 79th Judicial District Court, Jim Wells County, Texas
Trial Court No. 14-09-53692-CV
Honorable Richard C. Terrell, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 28, 2016
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
On August 12, 2016, appellant filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s judgment
signed May 12, 2016. The clerk’s record was due September 9, 2016, one hundred and twenty
days after the judgment was signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1(a). On September 2, 2016, the
District Clerk of Jim Wells County, filed a notification stating the clerk’s record would not be filed
because appellant had not paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee to prepare the record
and is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. On September 7, 2016, we ordered appellant
to provide written proof to this court on or before September 19, 2016, that either: (1) the clerk’s
04-16-00519-CV
fee has been paid or arrangements had been made to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) he is entitled to
appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. We cautioned appellant that if he failed to respond within
the time provided, his appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. R. 37.3(b).
Appellant has not filed a response, and our clerk’s office contacted the Jim Wells County clerk’s
office and was advised no payment had been received.
Accordingly, this appeal dismissed for want of prosecution. We order that appellees
recover their costs of this appeal, if any, from appellant.
