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

Appellant, George Clark, filed an appeal from a judgment entered by the 317th

District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, in cause number C-205,695E. On April 2,

2012, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the clerk's record in the above cause

was originally due on March 14, 2012, and that the deputy district clerk, Martiza Downs,

had notified this Court that appellant failed to make arrangements for payment of the

clerk's record. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c).

Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date

of receipt of the Court’s notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution.

The notice was sent to appellant’s address by certified mail return receipt requested;

however, the certified mail was returned as unclaimed and unable to forward.

Subsequently, the Clerk of the Court sent the notice to appellant by regular mail on April

26, 2012.

On April 26, 2012, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that he was delinquent

in remitting a $175.00 filing fee. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the appeal

was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the date of

receipt of this letter. See id. 42.3(b),(c).

Appellant has failed to respond to this Court=s notices. Accordingly, the appeal is

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
