                           Jefferson County, Texas

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Jeffrey D. Westbrook appealed from a judgment signed January 8, 2018. On

May 29, 2018, we notified the parties that the clerk’s record had not been filed due

to the appellant’s failure to pay or, to arrange to pay the District Clerk’s fee for

preparing the clerk’s record. Further, the notice warned Westbrook that the appeal

would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless a response was filed by June 28,

2018. Westbrook filed a response on June 11, 2018.


                                         1
      The trial court denied Westbrook’s claim of indigence on January 10, 2017,

approximately one year before the trial court signed the order that is the subject of

this appeal. Westbrook did not challenge the order within ten days of the date it was

signed. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(g)(2). The clerk responsible for preparing the record

in this appeal informed the Court that Westbrook did not arrange to pay for the

record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a).

      There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the clerk’s

record, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b);

see also Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
