Court Cause No. CV-46,700

            This is an appeal from a final judgment signed on December 17, 2010.  Appellant, Hilliard
Energy, Ltd., has timely filed a notice of appeal.   However, neither a clerk’s
record nor a reporter’s record have been filed.  We dismiss the appeal for want
of prosecution.
            The
clerk of the trial court and the court reporter have notified this court that
appellant has neither filed a written designation specifying the matters to be
included in the clerk’s record or the reporter’s record nor made arrangements
to pay for the clerk’s record or the reporter’s record.  On April 25, 2011, the
clerk of this court wrote appellant and requested that it forward proof that it
has filed a designation of the clerk’s record and reporter’s record and made
arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record and reporter’s record by May 6, 2011.
The clerk’s letter of April 25 additionally informed appellant that the failure
to provide the requested proof by the date indicated could result in the
dismissal of this appeal. There has been no response to the clerk’s letter of
April 25.
The
failure to file the clerk’s record and reporter’s record appears to be due to
appellant’s acts and omissions. Therefore, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b) and 42.3(b), the appeal is dismissed
for want of prosecution.
