Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Eugene Segura, appealed a judgment rendered against him in the 197th District Court of Cameron County, Texas. On January 18, 2008, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the clerk's record in the above cause was originally due on January 7, 2007, and that the deputy district clerk, Laura Cisneros, had notified this Court that appellant failed to make arrangements for payment of the clerk's record. 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(b),(c). 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.

The Court, having considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to comply with the appellate rules, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's directive, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
