DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           Appellant Sally Leeson filed a notice of appeal on July 14, 2015. She was required to pay

$195.00 in filing fees to this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. 1 Appellant did not timely pay the

required fees. Accordingly, when the fees remained unpaid, on August 14, 2015, this court ordered

Appellant to provide written proof to this court not later than August 31, 2015, that the filing fees

have been paid or Appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fees. See id. We warned

Appellant that if she failed to respond as ordered, the appeal could be dismissed. See id. R. 5,
