                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On February 5, 2014, we notified the parties that the appeal would be

dismissed unless the appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. On March 13,

2014, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for want of

prosecution unless arrangements were made for filing the record or the appellant

explained why additional time was needed to file the record. Appellant did not

respond.

      Appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence on appeal and has not shown

that she is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.

                                        1
There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the

appeal, and there being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the clerk’s

record, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b);

Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
