ORDER The clerk’s record and reporter’s record in this appeal were due on April 15, 2022. TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1. The clerk’s record was timely filed. On April 18, 2022, the official court reporter responsible for preparing the reporter’s record filed a notification of late record, stating that appellant has failed to (1) request preparation of the reporter’s record in writing and (2) pay or make satisfactory arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(b).

We therefore ORDER appellant to file written proof in this court no later than ten (10) days after the date of this order showing that: (1) he has requested that the official court reporter prepare the reporter’s record in compliance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.6; and (2) either the court reporter’s fee for preparation of the reporter’s record has been paid or satisfactory payment arrangements have been made, or appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6, 20.1(a); TEX. R. CIV. P. 145.

If appellant fails to respond within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
