On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 15-29211
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The notice of appeal was filed with the trial court on February 24, 2016. To date, despite written notices from this Court and an opportunity to cure, the appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1. In addition, no clerk's record has been filed. The clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the Court that the appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record. On April 20, 2016, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless arrangements were made for filing the record or the appellant explained why additional time was needed to file the record. Appellant did not respond to the Court's notices.
Appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence on appeal and has not shown that she is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, and there being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the clerk's record, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
