PER CURIAM
 
 
Before Chief Justice
Gray,
            Justice
Vance, and
            Justice Reyna
(Chief
Justice Gray notes that footnote 1 is outside the record in this appeal and
that we advised McCray that “the Court may dismiss the appeal unless, within 21
days from the date of this letter, a response is filed showing grounds for
continuing the appeal.”)
Appeal dismissed 
Opinion delivered and
filed February 7, 2007
[CV06]

[1]               Additionally, the trial
court’s August 3, 2006 order, noted in the notice of appeal, declaring McCray
to be a vexatious litigant, was vacated in an August 31, 2006 order.  

[2]               McCray, a prison inmate, filed in
the trial court an affidavit of indigence with his notice of appeal, and the
affidavit was not contested.  Tex. R.
App. P. 20.1(c)(1), (e).  His indigent status is, therefore, recognized
in this appeal only.  Id. 20.1(f), (m).
