IN RE B. JOE THOMSON, Relator





Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus





MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator B. Joe Thomson filed his petition for writ of mandamus on May 12, 2004 and on July 12, 2004, we struck it because (1) relator had not paid the $75 filing fee and had not established that he was indigent or exempt from paying it and (2) the certificate of service was inadequate. We gave relator until July 19, 2004 to file a conforming petition. By July 19, 2004, relator had not filed a conforming petition.           Accordingly, we dismiss the proceeding for want of prosecution.

 

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Alcala, and Bland.
