Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed April 7, 2026.

In The

Fifteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 15-26-00026-CV

PATRICK JEROME CHARGUALAF, Appellant

V.

TTCU, Appellee

On Appeal from the 169th District Court
Bell County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 25DCV355639

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 13, 2026, this Court notified appellant Patrick Jerome
Chargualaf that the clerk’s record was due in this Court on February 10, 2026, but
had not been filed due to his failure to pay, or make arrangements to pay, the trial
court clerk’s fee for preparing the record. The notice requested that appellant file a

1
response with written documentation showing that he had paid, or had made
arrangements to pay, the clerk’s fee or that he is entitled to proceed without
payment of costs. In addition, in our notice, we directed appellant to comply with
our request by February 23, 2026, and advised that his failure to comply could
result in the dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. To date, appellant has
not responded to the 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, 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. See Tex. R. App.
P. 37.3(b). In this case, appellant has not established that he is entitled to proceed
without payment of costs. See id. R. 20.1; Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. Consequently, we
dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Field and Farris.
