TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-04-00634-CR

                                 Praxedis Caballero, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

            FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 6 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
           NO. 658,527, HONORABLE WILLIAM E. BENDER, JUDGE PRESIDING

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant Praxedis Caballero perfected this appeal from a conviction for theft. The

reporter’s record has not been filed because appellant, who never claimed to be indigent, has not

made arrangements for payment. Appellant’s retained counsel previously filed a motion to withdraw

stating counsel’s opinion that appellant is indigent. This Court dismissed the motion to withdraw

and ordered the trial court to determine whether appellant wishes to pursue the appeal and, if so, if

he is indigent. We are now informed by the trial court that appellant cannot be located.

               We conclude that appellant has been given a reasonable opportunity to obtain the

reporter’s record and find that the absence of the record is appellant’s fault. See Tex. R. App. P.

37.3(c). We also find that appellant has not made the necessary arrangements for filing a brief. See

Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4).
               We have examined the clerk’s record and find no error that should be considered in

the interest of justice. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
