                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Emilio Barrientes, filed an appeal from a judgment rendered against him

in the 156th District Court of Bee County. On February 3, 2014, the Clerk of this Court

notified appellant that the clerk's record in the above cause was originally due on January

25, 2014, and that the deputy district clerk, Julissa James, 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 the Court’s

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

       On February 3, 2014, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he was

delinquent in remitting a $195.00 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).

                                                                       PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
27th day of March, 2014.
