TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-04-00523-CV Lynda Estes, Appellant v. Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. C2003-0493A, HONORABLE CHARLES R. RAMSAY, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION The trial court signed its final judgment on July 28, 2004, and appellant filed her notice of accelerated appeal on August 9. On August 23, the trial court signed an order allowing appellant s counsel to withdraw. The record has not yet been filed, and the district clerk s office has informed this Court that they have attempted unsuccessfully to reach appellant by phone and by mail. On February 16, 2005, this Court sent appellant notice that the record was late and that arrangements had to be made by February 28. That letter, sent to appellant s last known address, was returned to this Court as not deliverable as addressed and unable to forward. We have no other contact information for appellant, who has never contacted this Court during the more than six months since her notice of appeal was filed. Lacking any communication by appellant and any further means to contact her, we therefore dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Chief Justice Law, Justices B. A. Smith and Puryear Dismissed for Want of Prosecution Filed: March 14, 2005 2
