MEMORANDUM OPINION

 
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

	Appellant, Denis A. Downey, attempted to appeal a judgment rendered against him
in the 197th District Court of Cameron County.  On October 24, 2007, the Clerk of this
Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal had not been timely filed.  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.   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.  Appellant failed to respond to the Court's
notice.  Appellant has further failed to pay required fees as directed by the Clerk of this
Court.
	The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's
failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notices,
is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  Accordingly,
the appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.  See id. 42.3(a),(c).

								PER CURIAM
Memorandum Opinion delivered and 
filed this the 10th day of April, 2008.
