DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           The clerk’s record was due to be filed in this appeal on September 8, 2016. On September

8, 2016, the trial court clerk filed a notification of late record stating the clerk’s record had not

been filed because appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for

preparing the record and appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee.

           On September 9, 2016, appellant was ordered to provide written proof to this court by

September 19, 2016 that either: (1) the clerk’s fee had been paid or arrangements had been made
                                                                                                          04-16-00485-CR


to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. 1 The

order stated if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed

for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). Appellant did not respond to this court’s

order. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id.

                                                               PER CURIAM
