                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Tijerina
             Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa

       Appellant, Gonzalo Conde Leal, appeals the trial court’s order in a suit affecting

the parent-child relationship entered by the 148th District Court of Nueces County, Texas

in cause number 2019-FAM-3070-A. On August 30, 2019, the Clerk of this Court notified

appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 9.5(d), 9.5(e), 25.1(d),(e). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(e), 25.1(d),(e). The Clerk

directed appellant to file an amended notice of appeal with the district clerk's office within

30 days from the date of that notice. On October 2, 2019, the Clerk notified appellant
that the defect had not been corrected and warned appellant that the appeal would be

dismissed if the defect was not cured within ten days. Appellant has not responded to

the notice from the Clerk or corrected the defect.

       On September 16, 2019, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he was

delinquent in remitting a $205.00 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. R. 42.3(b),(c).

       An appellate court may dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to

comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified

time. See id. R. 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 and failure to comply with a notice from the Court. See id.

                                                                LETICIA HINOJOSA
                                                                Justice

Delivered and filed the
14th day of November, 2019.
