him in favor of appellee, Larry Warner, in a legal malpractice action. On September 7,

2007, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the clerk's record in the above cause

was originally due on August 27, 2007, and that the deputy district clerk, Laura Cisneros, 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 this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution.

Appellant failed to respond to the Court’s notice, and has further failed to make

arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record in this cause..

The Court, having considered the documents on file, is of the opinion that the

appeal should be dismissed. See id. 37.3(b), 42.3(b),(c).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
