MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices West and Fonseca
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Fonseca
This matter is before the Court on its own motion. On March 24, 2025, appellant

attempted to appeal an order entered on March 10, 2025. On April 1, 2025, the Clerk of
the Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal was not in compliance with Texas

Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.5, 25.1(d)(2), and 25.1(e). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5,

25.1(d)(2), 25.1(e). Appellant was also notified that if a proper notice of appeal was not

filed within thirty days, the matter would be referred to the Court. Again, on May 15, 2025,

the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal was not in compliance

with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.5, 25.1(d)(2), and 25.1(e). See id. Appellant

was further notified that if the defects were not cured within ten days, the appeal would

be dismissed. See id. R. 42.3.

Appellant has failed to correct the defects in his notice of appeal and has otherwise

not responded to the notices from the Clerk of the Court requiring a response or other

action within the time specified; accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of

prosecution. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c).

YSMAEL D. FONSECA
Justice

Delivered and filed on the
26th day of June, 2025.
