                                         NO. 03-19-00439-CV


                                     Nations Best LLC, Appellant

                                                     v.

                            Dorothy Jones and Glenn Daniels, Appellees


              FROM THE 250TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
  NO. D-1-GN-19-003011, THE HONORABLE CHARLES R. RAMSAY, JUDGE PRESIDING



                               MEMORANDUM OPINION


                  The clerk’s record in this appeal was due for filing in this Court on July 11, 2019.

On July 12, 2019, we notified appellant that no clerk’s record had been filed due to its failure to

pay or arrange to pay the trial clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. The notice requested

that appellant make arrangements for the clerk’s record and submit a status report regarding this

appeal by July 22, 2019. Further, the notice advised appellant that its 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 notice, 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 it is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. Because

appellant has failed to pay or arrange to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record, this

appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
