                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Garza, Vela, and Perkes
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Patrick J. Aranda, filed an appeal from an order signed on January 5,

2011, in cause no. 2008-EM5-01918. On May 19, 2011, the Clerk of this Court notified

appellant that the clerk's record in the above cause was originally due on March 15, 2011,

and that the deputy district clerk, Consuelo E. Gomez, 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.

       On May 13, 2011, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he was delinquent

in remitting a $175.00 filing fee. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the appeal

was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the date of

receipt of this letter. See id. 42.3(b),(c).

       Appellant has failed to respond to this Court’s notices and has failed to pay the

filing fee. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).



                                                   PER CURIAM


Delivered and filed the
11th day of August, 2011.
