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. _____________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Submitted on February 4, 2015 Opinion Delivered February 5, 2015 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
