IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF D.L.S. AND P.S. AND IN THE INTEREST
               OF S.S., S.S., AND S.S., MINOR CHILDREN

                      On Appeal from the 366th Judicial District Court
                                   Collin County, Texas
                          Trial Court Cause No. 366-56261-2011

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Brown
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       Appellee Father has filed two motions to dismiss this appeal based on appellant Mother’s

failure to pay for the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). Our records reflect that by

order entered January 24, 2014, Mother was directed to file, no later than February 10, 2014,

written verification that she had paid or made arrangements to pay for the record. Because

Mother represented to us in a January 21, 2014 motion that she was not seeking to proceed

without payment of costs, we cautioned Mother in our January 24th order that failure to provide

the requested verification could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See id.

37.3(b). To date, Mother has not provided the requested verification, responded to Father’s

motion, or otherwise communicated with the Court. Moreover, the district clerk has informed us
that, “due to non-payment,” the record has not been filed. Accordingly, we grant the motions and

dismiss the appeal. See id. 37.3(b), 42.3(b), (c).
