MEMORANDUM OPINION

On November 29, 2018, the trial court found that Appellant, Amy Anne

Shouldice, can afford to pay costs for the appeal. She did not file a motion for

appellate review of the trial court’s ruling. See generally Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(g). On

January 10, 2019, the trial court clerk notified this Court that Appellant had not paid

for the record, and we warned the parties that unless we received the clerk’s record

1 by February 8, 2019, the appeal would be dismissed without further notice. See Tex.

R. App. P. 37.3(b). On February 11, 2019, the trial court clerk notified this Court

that Appellant has not paid the cost for the record. The appeal is dismissed for want

of prosecution. See id; see also Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. 1

APPEAL DISMISSED.
