IN THE INTEREST OF
B. T., A CHILD
On Appeal from the County Court at Law
Lamar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 72690
Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Lester Taylor, appellant, filed, on February 21, 2006, a timely notice of appeal with the Lamar County Court at Law in this parental rights termination case. On September 1, 2006, we received a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution from the Department of Family and Protective Services. After receiving this motion, we called the Lamar County Court at Law and confirmed that a notice of appeal had been filed, but was not forwarded to this Court. We now have this notice of appeal.

Taylor has not filed a docketing statement with this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 32. It appears that Taylor has neither filed an affidavit of indigency, nor has he made any effort to have either the clerk's record or reporter's record prepared, and he has not filed a brief. On September 6, 2006, we contacted Taylor by letter, giving him an opportunity to cure the various defects 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. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c).

 

We have received no communication from Taylor. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
