Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.


                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                       
Following an order in suit to modify parent-child relationship, appellant, Lindsey Nicole Day, timely filed a pro se notice of appeal.  The clerk's record was filed with this Court on October 6, 2011.  The reporter requested an extension of time to file the reporter's record on October 26, 2011, because (1) Day had not requested preparation of the record, (2) Day had not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record, and (3) "The order was only a temporary and a motion for new trial granted  -  I provided these to 7[th] COA."  The reporter's request for extension was granted.  By letter dated October 28, 2011, Day was notified of this defect and given an opportunity to either have the record filed or to certify that the record had been requested and that arrangements had been made to pay for the record by November 28, 2011.  This letter warned Day that failure to comply with this deadline may result in a deadline being set for appellant's brief in the absence of a reporter's record.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c).  After Day failed to respond to this Court's November 28 letter, the Court notified Day that her brief was due to be filed no later than January 5, 2012.  
Having received no brief by this January 5 deadline, on January 17, this Court sent Day notice that her brief was past due.  This notice specifically advised Day that, unless appellant's brief was filed with this Court on or before January 27, this appeal would be subject to dismissal without further notice.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).  To this date, Day has not filed appellant's brief nor responded to any of this Court's correspondence.  As such, we now dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution and failure to comply with a notice from the Clerk of this Court requiring a response or other action in a specified time.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
