  • TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-21-00055-CV Sophia Yu, Appellant v. James Parker; The Parker Law Firm, PLLC; Jiaying Shi; Michael Grimes; and Michael Grimes, PC, Appellees FROM THE 261ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-GN-20-006741, THE HONORABLE MAYA GUERRA GAMBLE, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION The clerk’s record in this appeal was due for filing in this Court on March 5, 2021. On March 8, 2021, and again on June 23, 2021, we notified appellant that no clerk’s record had been filed due to her failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the trial clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. The notices requested that appellant make arrangements for the clerk’s record and submit a status report regarding this appeal by March 18, 2021, and then July 5, 2021. Further, the notices advised appellant that her failure to comply with this request could result in the dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. To date, appellant has not filed a status report or otherwise responded to this Court’s notices, and the clerk’s record has not been filed. If a trial-court clerk fails to file the clerk’s record due to an appellant’s failure to pay or make arrangements to pay for the clerk’s fee for preparing the record, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of costs. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). In this case, appellant has not established that she is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. Because appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. __________________________________________ Thomas J.
