VERONICA COOPER, Appellant v. GOOSE CREEK CONSOLIDATED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Appellee


On Appeal from the 127th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 2010-83245

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Veronica Cooper, filed an affidavit of indigence in the trial court, seeking to proceed with this appeal without advance payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1(c)(1). The affidavit was contested, and the trial court sustained the contest, finding that the affidavit was not filed in good faith, and ordering appellant to pay 40% of the costs related to her appeal, including the costs related to the clerk's record and the reporter's record. Nevertheless, appellant has not paid, or made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparing the clerk's record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant did not adequately respond. See id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Higley, Bland, and Massengale.
