DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

The clerk's record in the instant case has not been filed because appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk's fee for preparing the record and appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. On November 22, 1999, this court notified appellant of this deficiency and ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court by December 3, 1999, that either (1) the clerk's fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the clerk's fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the clerk's fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2). Appellant was further notified that failure to respond within the time provided would result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Appellant did not respond. The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b). Costs of appeal are taxed against appellant.
