MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Lewis Opinion by Chief Justice Wright By letter dated June 12, 2012, we notified appellant the $175 filing fee was due in this

case. We cautioned appellant that failure to pay the fee within ten days would result in the

dismissal of this appeal. By letter dated July 23, 2012, we notified appellant that the district

clerk’s office informed the Court that the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant had

not paid the fee for the clerk’s record. We directed appellant to provide this Court with either

written verification that he had paid for the clerk’s record or written verification that he was

entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that if the Court did not

receive the required documentation within ten days we might dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution. To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee, provided verification of payment for the clerk’s record, provided verification that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs,

or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b),(c).
