MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Yañez, Rodriguez, and Vela Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, William A. Long, Sr., pro se, appealed a judgment rendered against him

in cause number 05-E-0499-C in the 130th District Court of Matagorda County, Texas. On

December 18, 2007, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the clerk's record in the

above cause was originally due on August 15, 2007, and that the District Clerk of

Matagorda County, Becky Denn, 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.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to

respond, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution. Pending motions are

DISMISSED AS MOOT.
