MEMORANDUM OPINION

Although Robert Timothy Droddy Jr. filed a notice of appeal, he failed to

arrange to pay for the clerk’s record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2). On June 14,

2024, the Clerk of the Court notified the parties that unless Droddy arranged to file

the clerk’s record or explained why he needed additional time to do so, his appeal in

Trial Court Cause Number A230193-R would be dismissed for want of prosecution.

The Court, however, has not received a response.

1
Retained counsel represents Droddy in his appeal. Droddy has also not filed

an affidavit of indigence, and nothing in the appellate record shows that Droddy is

entitled to proceed without paying costs. See id. 20.2.

Because Droddy has not explained why he failed to file the record in his

appeal, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. 37.3(b), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
