<STRONG>PER CURIAM</STRONG>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Because Anthony Perez has neither paid for nor made arrangements to pay for the
clerk's record, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P.
35.3(a)(2).</P>

<P>	The Clerk of this Court filed Appellant's Notice of Appeal on August 31, 1998. 
By letter dated January 4, 1999, the Clerk of this Court notified the county clerk's office of Travis
County that the clerk's record was overdue.  Notice was received from the county clerk's office
on February 26, 1999, that the clerk's record had not been paid for, nor had arrangements been
made.</P>

<P>	By letter dated March 16, 1999, and again on April 29, 1999, appellant's attorney
was requested to submit a status report regarding this matter.  Appellant was informed that failure
to pay, or to make arrangements to pay, for the record could result in dismissal of his appeal. 
Thus far, appellant has failed to respond to this request.</P>

<P>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
<EM>See</EM> <EM>id.</EM> 42.3(b).</P>
