Because appellant Webb Clayton Estes has failed to respond to this Court's request for notification of appellant's intention to proceed with his appeal, we will dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

The Clerk of this Court filed appellant's Notice of Appeal on August 28, 2000. By letter dated November 21, 2000, the Lampasas District Clerk informed this Court that on November 20, 2000 appellant stated he did not intend to proceed with his appeal. By letter dated December 4, 2000, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that unless he informed this Court by December 14, 2000 of his intention to continue with the appeal, the cause would be dismissed for want of prosecution. Thus far, appellant has failed to respond to this notification.

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