MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 216th Judicial District Court, Gillespie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 12490
Honorable Stephen B. Ables, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
The reporter's record was originally due on May 2, 2013, and the clerk's record was originally due on June 3, 2013. This court had previously ordered appellant, who is pro se, to designate the reporter's record and pay or make arrangements to pay for both the clerk's record and reporter's record or provide written proof he is entitled to the records on appeal without paying the fees. On June 27, 2013, appellant filed a letter with this court asking for additional time until July 8, 2013. Accordingly, this court again ordered appellant to pay or make arrangements to pay for both the clerk's record and reporter's record or provide written proof he is entitled to the records on appeal without paying the fees, no later than July 12, 2013. Appellant was cautioned that if he failed to pay for the clerk's record within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant did not respond.
On July 25, 2013, this court ordered appellant to show cause in writing no later than August 2, 2013 why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b). Our order cautioned appellant that if he failed to respond by August 2, 2013, this appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has not responded; therefore, this appeal is dismissed for lack of prosecution.
