The trial court clerk noted that appellant filed an affidavit of inability to pay costs to which the district clerk filed a timely contest.

See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Appellant has not provided this court with proof of payment for the record. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.1 PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, McCally, and Busby. 1 It appears that appellant has withdrawn her notice of appeal. Although no motion to dismiss was filed in this court, the Harris County District Clerk forwarded appellant’s motion filed in the trial court entitled, “Voluntary Dismissal of Appeal.” 2
