No. 04-26-00140-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF E.L.G., a Child
From the County Court at Law No. 1, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2024FLI000656C1
Honorable Belinda Mendez, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
Lori Massey Brissette, Justice
Adrian A. Spears II, Justice
Delivered and Filed: May 20, 2026
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
The clerk’s record was originally due on April 20, 2026. On that date, the trial court clerk
filed a Notification of Late Record stating appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay
the clerk’s fee for preparing the record and that appellant was not entitled to appeal without paying
the fee. We therefore ordered appellant to provide written proof by May 4, 2026 that either (1) the
clerk’s fee had been paid or arrangements had been made to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) appellant
was entitled to appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. In our order, we cautioned appellant that if
he failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of
prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b).
