Appellant filed an affidavit of indigence to which two contests were filed. The trial court sustained the contests and, on review, this Court affirmed the trial court’s order. In an order dated September 22, 2014, we ordered the district clerk to file, by October 2, 2014, either the clerk’s record or written verification that appellant had not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record. We cautioned appellant that if the Court received written verification of no payment, we may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. On October 2, 2014, the Court received written verification from the district clerk that appellant had not paid or made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b) & 42.3(b).
