Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo

Opinion Per Curiam


	Appellant, Bruce K. Nicholson, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by
the 156th District Court of Bee County, Texas, in cause number B-00-1396-0-CV-B. 
No clerk's record has been filed due to appellant's failure to pay or make arrangements
to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the clerk's record.  
	If the trial court clerk fails to file the clerk's record because the appellant failed
to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the clerk's record, the
appellate court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellant
was entitled to proceed without payment of costs.  Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
	On December 27, 2001, notice was given to all parties that this appeal was
subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).  Appellant was given ten days
to explain why the cause should not be dismissed.  To date, no response has been
received from appellant. 
	The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file,
appellant's failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the
clerk's record,  this Court's notice, and appellant's failure to respond, is of the opinion
that the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. The appeal is hereby
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
