IN THE INTEREST OF L.M.J.M., A Child
On Appeal from the 417th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 417-56378-2013
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
The filing fee, docketing statement, and clerk's record in this case are past due. By postcard dated March 4, 2015, we notified appellant the $195 filing fee was due. We directed appellant to remit the filing fee within ten days and expressly cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the appeal. Also by postcard dated March 4, 2015, we notified appellant the docketing statement had not been filed in this case. We directed appellant to file the docketing statement within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so might result in dismissal of this appeal. By letter dated March 30, 2015, we informed appellant the clerk's record had not been filed because appellant had not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the clerk's record. We directed appellant to provide verification of payment or arrangements to pay for the clerk's record or written documentation that appellant had been found to be entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. In response, appellant filed letters dated May 5, 2015 and May 11, 2015 in which appellant explained that she was unable to pay the fee for the preparation of the records in this case. Appellant did not file an affidavit of indigency with this Court, and to date, appellant has not paid the filing fee, filed the docketing statement, or provided written documentation that she has been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs in the trial court.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c). 150252F.P05
