O P I N I O N

            Charles Edward Senter, pro se, appeals from his conviction for failure to maintain financial
responsibility, a class C misdemeanor.  A jury found Appellant guilty and assessed punishment at
a fine of $350.  We affirm.
            When Appellant did not file his brief or a motion for extension of time, we directed the trial
court to conduct a hearing to determine whether Appellant desired to prosecute his appeal.  See
Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(b).  At the hearing, Appellant stated in open court that he did not wish to
prosecute his appeal.  We then ordered Appellant to file a motion to dismiss within ten days but he
has not complied with our order.  Consequently, we notified Appellant that the appeal would be
submitted on the clerk’s record alone.  See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(b)(4).  In the interest of justice, we
have reviewed the entire record, but have found no fundamental error.  See Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d
687 (Tex.Crim.App. 1994).  Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
