On Appeal from 312th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2013-16300

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Monique Venita McKnight filed her notice of appeal on December

13, 2023. Appellant did not pay the appellate filing fee or establish indigence for

purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1. The Clerk of this Court

notified Appellant that unless she paid the appellate filing fee by February 5, 2024, her appeal could be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). To date, Appellant has

not paid the appellate filing fee nor established indigence for purposes of appellate

costs.

Appellant also failed to pay, or make arrangements to pay, the fee for

preparing the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145; TEX. R. APP. P. 34.1. We

notified Appellant that her appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the

clerk’s record was not filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a), (b). We directed Appellant

to submit written evidence from the trial court clerk by April 4, 2024, reflecting she

paid, or made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparing the clerk’s record. To date,

Appellant has not responded to this Court’s notice and the clerk’s record has not

been filed.

We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b),

42.3(b)–(c). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Hightower, Rivas-Molloy, and Farris.
