MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Lewis Opinion by Chief Justice Wright By letter dated January 23, 2013, the Court informed appellant that we have received notice from the District Clerk of Collin County that the clerk’s record has not been filed because appellant has not paid the fee for its preparation. We instructed appellant to provide the Court, within ten days, written verification that he has paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee or written documentation that appellant has been found to be entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to provide the document within the time specified may result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. As of today’s date, appellant has not provided the requested documentation. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3 (b) & (c).
