                                   MICHAEL GOODALL, Appellant

                                                             V.

                    VALLEY FORGE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee

                                          On Appeal from the 58th District Court

                                                       Jefferson County, Texas

                                                 Trial Court Cause No. A-177512

                                             M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

The trial court signed its judgment on May 1, 2007.  Michael Goodall filed a notice of appeal but did not file an affidavit of inability to pay costs on appeal in compliance with Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.  The clerk of the trial court has stated in writing that Goodall has failed to pay for the clerk=s record.

On August 15, 2007, the clerk of this court wrote the parties advising them that the requirements of Rule 20.1 had not been met and directing Goodall to forward proof of payment for the clerk=s record to this court on or before August 30, 2007.  There has been no response to our letter of August 15.

The failure to file the clerk=s record appears to be due to Goodall=s actions.  Therefore, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.  Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
