From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2002-CI-01711

Honorable Jim A. Rausch, Judge Presiding


PER CURIAM

 

Sitting:            Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

 

Delivered and Filed: December 23, 2009


DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION


            The clerk’s record was originally due on September 25, 2009. On October 6, 2009, the trial court clerk filed a Notification of Late Record, stating that the clerk’s record is complete, but has not been filed because appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the record and that appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. On October 20, 2009, this court ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court no later than October 30, 2009 that either (1) the clerk’s fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the clerk’s fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the clerk’s fee. Our order cautioned appellant that if he failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Appellant did not respond. Accordingly, on November 16, 2009, this court ordered appellant to show cause in writing no later than November 23, 2009 why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b). Appellant has not responded.

            This appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). Costs of appeal are taxed against appellant.
