                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Henry Stepp III filed a notice of appeal on January 7, 2014, seeking to

appeal an order denying an application for protective order. With respect to

Henry’s appeal, the record, due to be filed on February 6, 2014, was not filed. We

notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution

unless arrangements were made to file the record or Henry explained why

additional time was needed to file the record. Henry did not respond to the Court’s

notice. On March 20, 2014, we warned Henry that the appeal would be dismissed

                                        1
unless on or before March 31, 2014, he arranged to pay for the record, filed an

affidavit of indigence, or showed that he could not be charged a fee for the

appellate record. Henry did not respond to the Court’s notice by the date specified

in the clerk’s notice.

      Henry failed to comply with a notice from the clerk that required a response

or other action within a specific time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). The appeal is

dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
