MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from the trial court’s order terminating parental rights. The
notice of appeal was filed on November 17, 2014. 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 appellant did not make arrangements to pay for
the record.
On January 8, 2015, this Court notified the parties that the appeal would be
dismissed unless appellant either provided proof of making satisfactory
1
arrangements with the trial court clerk’s office to pay for the record or filed a
motion that reasonably explained the need for additional time to file the record.
Appellant did not respond. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
