IN THE INTEREST OF

ARNESHIA NACOLE GOODEN, A CHILD

On Appeal from the 5th Judicial District Court

Bowie County, Texas

Trial Court No. 95S0424-005

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Eric Alexander has appealed from a judgment rendered July 23, 2003. He is not indigent and is thus responsible for paying or making adequate arrangements to pay the clerk's fees for preparing the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). On December 11, we contacted Alexander by letter, pointing out that he had not made any effort to obtain a record and warning him that the record was over forty-five days overdue. We then gave him notice and opportunity to cure the defect, and warned him that, if we did not receive an adequate response from him by December 22, 2003, his appeal would be subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c). As of this date, Alexander has not contacted this Court.

We dismiss the appeal.
