The judgment was
signed on March 23, 2005.  Both a motion
for new trial and a notice of appeal were timely filed.  On August 4, 2005, this court issued an order
determining that Leslie Garnett had not filed a proper affidavit with his
affidavit of inability to pay costs on appeal. 
The August 4 order directed Garnett to file the clerk=s record and the reporter=s record in this court on or before October 11,
2005.

On September 29,
2005, the clerk of the trial court informed this court in writing that Garnett
had neither filed a designation of record nor made financial arrangements for
the record.  The clerk of this court
wrote Garnett on September 29, 2005, and advised him to forward to this court
proof that he had filed in the trial court by October 14, 2005, a designation
of the appellate record and payment for the appellate record.  Garnett has not complied with our letter of
September 29.  On October 24, 2005, the
court reporter informed this court in writing that Garnett had not paid for the
reporter=s record on the merits.
As of this date,
neither the clerk=s record nor the reporter=s record on the merits have been filed.  The failure to file the clerk=s record and the reporter=s record on the merits of this appeal appear to be
due to Garnett=s actions. 
TEX.R.APP.P.37.3(b) & (c).
The motion to
dismiss for want of prosecution filed in this court by Oliver Davis
individually and d/b/a O. D. Distributing Co. is granted.
The appeal is
dismissed.
