Because Langston Williams has neither paid for nor made arrangements to pay for the clerk's record, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2).

The Clerk of this Court filed appellant's Notice of Appeal on February 24, 2000. By letter dated March 23, 2000, the Clerk of this Court notified the district clerk's office of Travis County that the clerk's record was overdue. Notice was received from the district clerk's office on April 7, 2000, that the clerk's record had not been paid for, nor had arrangements for payment been made.

By letter dated April 13, 2000, appellant was requested to submit a status report regarding this matter by April 28, 2000, and that failure to respond to this request would result in this appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution. Thus far, appellant has failed to respond to this request.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See id. 42.3(b).
