Docket No. 15-9158 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2015). On February 27, 2024, appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if appellate costs were not paid, or indigence was not established, by March 28, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c). Appellant did not adequately respond.
Further, appellant has not paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the preparation of the clerk's record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). On February 16, 2024, appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if appellant did not submit written evidence that she had paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the preparation of the clerk's record by March 18, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c). Appellant did not adequately respond.
