               Appellant George Lee Swift filed a notice of appeal on September 15, 2004. The

clerk’s record was filed with this Court on September 23, 2004. This Court has been informed by

the court reporter that appellant has not made arrangements for payment for the preparation of the

reporter’s record.1 Appellant has not filed a brief. On November 9, 2004, appellant was notified that

his brief was overdue and was given until November 19, 2004, to respond. See Tex. R. App. P.

38.8(a)(1) (failure to file a brief can result in dismissal for want of prosecution). The notice

informed appellant that his failure to respond would result in dismissal of the appeal. To date,

       1
         The court reporter informed this Court that she contested appellant’s affidavit of inability
to pay costs and that the contest was sustained by the district court. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(e).
appellant has not responded in any way to that notice. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want

of prosecution. Id.; Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
