                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
     Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Perkes and Longoria
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      This matter is before the Court on a defective notice of appeal and appellant's

failure to correct the defect. On April 23, 2014, April 28, 2014, and April 29, 2014, the

Clerk’s office of this Court advised appellant that the notice of appeal was not in

compliance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(d), (e) and requested correction
of this defect. On June 10, 2014, the Court again notified appellant that the notice of

appeal was not in compliance with the appellate rules, requested correction of the defect

within ten days, and advised appellant that the appeal would be dismissed if the defect

was not corrected. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(d),(e), R. 37.1, R. 42.3(b),(c). Appellant

has failed to correct the defect or otherwise respond to the Court's notices.

       On its own motion, with ten days’ notice to the parties, an appellate court may

dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to comply with a requirement of

the rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action

within a specified time. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, we DISMISS the appeal for

want of prosecution, failure to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules, and failure

to comply with a notice from the Court. See id.

                                                  PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
24th day of July, 2014.
