IN THE INTEREST OF T.M.D.J., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 310th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2009-07054

MEMORANDUM  OPINION

            This is an accelerated appeal from a final decree for termination of parental rights signed April 7, 2011.  Appellant, Tiffany Dillard, has not been determined to be indigent for appeal, and according to the records of this court, she is represented by retained counsel on appeal.  The clerk’s record was due June 6, 2011, but it was not filed until July 22, 2011.  The official court reporter advised this court that payment arrangements have not been made for the reporter’s record.  See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(b).  The clerk of this court notified appellant that we would consider and decide those issues that do not require a reporter’s record unless appellant provided this court with proof of payment for the record on or before June 10, 2011.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c).  Appellant filed no response. 

            On July 28, 2011, this court ordered appellant to file a brief in this accelerated appeal on or before August 17, 2011.  The order stated that if appellant failed to comply with the order, the court would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  No brief or other response to this court’s order was filed.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

Panel consists of Justices Frost, Seymore, and Jamison.
