                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                      CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

TRAVIS MOATES,                                                                 Appellant,

                                             v.

____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 444th District Court
                  of Cameron County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
        Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Travis Moates, appealed a judgment entered by the 444th District Court

of Cameron County, Texas. On September 12, 2011, the Clerk of this Court notified

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

Procedure 25.1(d)(2) and 9.5(e).      See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(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 January 23, 2012, the Clerk notified appellant that the

defect had not been corrected and warned appellant that the appeal would be dismissed

if the defects were not cured within ten days. Appellant has failed to correct the defects

or otherwise respond to the Court's notices.

      On its own motion, with ten days notice to the parties, 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 Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and failure to

comply with a notice from the Court. See id.

                                                              PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
29th day of March, 2012.
