M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N


According to information provided to this court, this appeal is from a judgment signed April 9, 2008.  The notice of appeal was filed on May 9, 2008.  To date, our records show that appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the $175.00 appellate filing fee.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent);Tex. R. App. P. 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence); see also Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007) (listing fees in court of appeals); Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 51.207 (Vernon 2005) (same).  On June 3, 2008, this court sent appellant the requisite ten-days= notice that this appeal was subject to dismissal for nonpayment of the filing fee.

In addition, no clerk=s record has been filed.  The clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the court appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record.  On June 12, 2008, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court=s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within fifteen days, appellant paid or made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court with proof of payment.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).

Appellant has not responded to this court=s notices.  The filing fee has not been paid, and the clerk=s record has not been filed.  Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
