                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                    Before Justices Schenck, Smith, and Garcia
                            Opinion by Justice Schenck
      The filing fee, docketing statement, and clerk’s record in this case are past

due. By postcard dated September 30, 2020, we notified appellant the $205 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 September 30, 2020, we informed appellant the

docketing statement in this case was due. We cautioned appellant that failure to file

the docketing statement within ten days might result in the dismissal of this appeal

without further notice. On December 8, 2020, we sent appellant a second notice
regarding the overdue filing fee and directed appellant to pay the fee within ten days.

By letter dated January 19, 2021, 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, within ten days, (1) verification of payment or arrangements to

pay for the clerk’s record, or (2) written documentation that appellant 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).
