Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Dennis Simmons, appellant, filed his notice of appeal May 8, 2012. The clerk’s record in this case was filed June 15. Simmons is not indigent and is therefore responsible for payment of the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1.

On June 27, 2012, we contacted Simmons’ attorney by letter, informing him that the reporter’s record was due on or before June 12, 2012, that the reporter had not received payment for preparation of the record, 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 appellant’s counsel. Pursuant to Rule 42.3(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
