CHERYL PAIGE, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 126732 ________________________________________________________ _____________ 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. ________________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on March 4, 2015 Opinion Delivered March 5, 2015 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 2
