IN THE INTEREST OF A.K. AND D.K., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-06-19986
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Nowell
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
This appeal follows the trial court's order confirming support arrearage. It was filed by Mother, who is appearing pro se. The record reflects the trial court declared her a vexatious litigant "as to litigation against [Father]" and prohibited her from filing any "further pro se complaints" against him without "obtaining prior leave from the Court." See generally TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.051, 11.054, 11.101. Because the record does not reflect Mother obtained permission to file the appeal, we directed Mother, by letter dated April 13, 2020, to file either a prefiling order permitting the appeal or a letter brief explaining why a prefiling order was not required. Although we cautioned Mother that failure to comply by May 4, 2020 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice, to date Mother has not complied or otherwise corresponded with the Court. See id. § 11.1035(b); TEX. R. APP. P. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
Accordingly, having received no response from Mother and with nothing before us reflecting the appeal is permitted, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 11.1035(b); TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
