<SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman"><STRONG>PER CURIAM</STRONG></SPAN>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman"><STRONG>	</STRONG>Because appellant Raza M. Devji has neither paid nor made arrangements to pay for
the clerk's record, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.  <EM>See </EM>Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">	The Clerk of this Court filed appellant's Notice of Appeal on December 5, 2000.  By
letter dated February 12, 2001, the Clerk of this Court notified the county clerk's office of Travis
County that the clerk's record was overdue.  On April 6, the county clerk's office notified the Clerk
of this Court that appellant had failed to make arrangements to pay for the clerk's record.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">	By letter dated April 18, 2001, appellant was requested to submit a status report
regarding this matter by April 30 and was informed that failure to respond to the request would result
in this appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution.  Thus far, appellant has failed to respond to
the request.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion.  <EM>See
id.</EM> 42.3(b), (c).</SPAN></P>
