THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON                                 APPELLEE

                                       ----------

           FROM THE 342ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

                                   ------------

              MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 AND JUDGMENT

                                       ----------

      On December 29, 2008, we notified appellant that the trial court clerk

responsible for preparing the record in this appeal had informed this court that

arrangements had not been made to pay for the clerk’s record as required by

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 35.3(a)(2). See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2).

We stated that we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless

appellant, within fifteen days, made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record


      1
          … See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4
and provided this court with proof of payment.

      Because appellant has not made payment arrangements for the clerk’s

record, it is the opinion of the court that the appeal should be dismissed for

want of prosecution. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App.

P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).

      Appellant shall pay all costs of the appeal, for which let execution issue.
