BETTY JOYCE WILLIAMS, Appellant


V.


DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERIVCES, Appellee





On Appeal from the 315th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2006-07154J





MEMORANDUM OPINIONAppellant Betty Joyce Williams has neither established indigence, nor paid or made arrangement to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence), 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault). After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant Betty Joyce Williams did not adequately respond. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

          The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution for failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee. All pending motions are denied.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Nuchia and Higley.
