                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                             Before Justices Moseley, Lang, and Brown
                                     Opinion by Justice Brown
        Sahishnu Shanmugam was convicted of driving while intoxicated, second offense.

Punishment was assessed at 300 days’ confinement in jail, probated for eighteen months, and an

$800 fine. When the clerk’s and reporter’s records were not filed, we ordered the trial court to

conduct a hearing on the status of the records. We adopted the findings that appellant, who filed

a pro se notice of appeal, did not appear for the hearing, is not indigent, and has not paid for the

record. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b)

(clerk’s record not filed due to appellant’s fault).
