William House, appellant, filed his notice of appeal September 13, 2007. House has not filed a docketing statement with this Court, see Tex. R. App. P. 32, nor has he paid a filing fee or made any claim of indigency. There is nothing in the record to indicate House has made efforts to have either the clerk's record or reporter's record filed with this Court, and he has not filed a brief. On October 30, 2007, we contacted House by letter, giving him an opportunity to cure the various defects, and warning him that, if we did not receive an adequate response within ten days, this appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).

We have received no communication from House. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
