Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION

Bruce A. Ballou, appellant, filed his notice of appeal June 22, 2009.

Ballou has neither filed a docketing statement with this Court, see TEX . R. APP . P. 32, nor

paid a filing fee or made any claim of indigency. See TEX . R. APP . P. App. A, (B)(1); 20.1. There

is no information to indicate Ballou has made efforts to have either the clerk's record or reporter's

record filed with this Court. On September 8, 2009, we contacted Ballou by letter, giving him an

opportunity to cure the various defects, and warning him that, if we did not receive an adequate

response within ten days, this appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See

TEX . R. APP . P. 42.3(b), (c).

We have received no communication from Ballou. Pursuant to Rule 42.3(b) and (c) of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. TEX . R. APP .
