MEMORANDUM OPINION
Scarlett Woods filed a notice of appeal from an order sustaining a contest to
a sworn statement of inability to pay costs in a forcible entry and detainer case. We
questioned our jurisdiction. See Redlich v. Ranch, 02-14-00390-CV, 2015 WL
226038, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Jan. 15, 2015, no pet. h.) (mem. op.)
(holding that an order sustaining a contest to an affidavit of inability to pay is
neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order). We directed the
appellant to file a written response by February 17, 2015, but no response has been
1
filed. The appellant failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court
requiring a response within a specified time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
