IV ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 279th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. F-226,815 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Claire J. Binagia, Appellant, filed a notice of appeal from a final order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Despite written notices from this Court and an opportunity to cure, to date, Appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the filing fee for the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1. In addition, no clerk’s record has been filed, and the clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the Court that Appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). On April 11, 2018, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the filing fee was paid or Appellant returned a properly 1 completed and executed form statement of inability to pay costs. Appellant did not respond to the Court’s notices. 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), 42.3. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Submitted on May 16, 2018 Opinion Delivered May 17, 2018 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 2
