             Before Chief Justice Valdez, Justices Garza and Vela
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Rey Esquivel d/b/a Esquivel Bail Bonds, filed an appeal from a

judgment rendered against him in favor of appellee, The State of Texas. On June 5,

2012, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the clerk's record in the above cause

was originally due on April 23, 2012, and that the deputy district clerk, Freddy Cardoza,

had notified this Court that appellant failed to make arrangements for payment of the
clerk's record. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant of this defect so that steps could

be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c).

Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date

of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution.

       On June 5, 2012, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he was delinquent in

remitting a $175.00 filing fee. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the appeal

was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the date of

receipt of this letter. See id. 42.3(b),(c).

       Appellant has failed to respond to this Court=s notices and has failed to pay the

filing fee. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
