Appellant, JUDITH GOLDBERG, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by County Court at Law No. 3 of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 03-61131-3.  No clerk=s record has been filed due to appellant=s failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk=s fee for preparing the clerk=s record.

R. App. P. 37.3(b).

On April 19, 2005, notice was given to all parties that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).  Appellant was given ten days to explain why the cause should not be dismissed.  To date, no response has been received from appellant.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk=s fee for preparing the clerk=s record,  this Court=s notice, and appellant=s failure to respond, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution.
