Michelle Ares f/k/a Maria Ramirez, Appellant

v.

Aerotek, Inc., and Schneider Electric USA, Inc. d/b/a Schneider Electric, Appellees

On Appeal from the 41st District Court
El Paso County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019DCV3145

M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that the clerk’s record has not been filed because

Appellant, Michelle Ares f/k/a/ Maria Ramirez, has not made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s

record, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
On November 24, 2025, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that if she did not

provide documentation by December 4, 2025, showing that arrangements had been made to pay

for the clerk’s record, this appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant responded

and moved for an extension of time to pay for the clerk’s record. This Court granted the motion

and ordered Appellant to provide documentation no later than December 16, 2025.

On December 17, 2025, the district clerk notified this office that no payment has been

received, and Appellant has not filed documentation explaining the failure. We conclude that the

clerk’s record has not been filed due to the fault of Appellant, and we dismiss the appeal for want

of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b) (authorizing an appellate court to dismiss an appeal for

want of prosecution if no clerk’s record has been filed due to the fault of appellant).
