Willie Burns, appellant, filed a notice of appeal in this matter on March 18, 2016. [1] The

clerk’s record in this matter, which was due to be filed on or before May 19, 2016, has not been filed, and there is no indication that Burns, who is not indigent, has either paid for or made satisfactory payment arrangements for preparation of the clerk’s record.

Unless otherwise excused, a nonindigent appellant must either pay or make arrangements for the payment of the fees related to preparation of the appellate record to ensure that the record is timely filed. T EX . R. A PP . P. 35.3(a)(2), (b)(3); see T EX . R. A PP . P. 20.1(c), 37.3(b), (c).

By letter dated June 16, 2016, and pursuant to Rules 37.3(b) and 42.3(b) and (c) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, our clerk’s office provided Burns with notice of and an opportunity to cure this defect. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c). The clerk’s letter further warned Burns that if he did not remedy the identified defect within ten days of the date of the letter, his appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution.
