                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
              Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Brown
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       The filing fee, docketing statement, and clerk’s record in this case are past due. By

postcard dated May 2, 2014, we notified appellant the $195 filing fee was due. We directed

appellant to remit the filing fee within ten days and expressly cautioned appellant that failure to

do so would result in dismissal of the appeal. Also by postcard dated May 2, 2014, we notified

appellant the docketing statement had not been filed in this case. We directed appellant to file

the docketing statement within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so might

result in dismissal of this appeal. By letter dated May 14, 2014, we informed appellant the

clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant had not paid for the clerk’s record. We

directed appellant to provide verification of payment or arrangements to pay for the clerk’s

record or to provide written documentation that he had been found entitled to proceed without
payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of

this appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee, filed the

docketing statement, provided the required documentation, or otherwise corresponded with the

Court regarding the status of this appeal.

       Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
