<STRONG>PER CURIAM</STRONG>

<P>	On January 27, 1997, appellant Thomas Retzlaff filed a motion for extension of time to file
the record in this cause.  That same day, the Clerk's office requested that Retzlaff file, by March 10, 1997,
an amended motion that included a clerk's affidavit.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 73.  To date, an amended motion
has not been filed.  </P>
