           Appellee has moved to dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.3 (b). Appellee notes the clerk’s record has not been filed because appellant has failed to pay

for it. See id. 35.3(a). Appellee further notes that, despite being cautioned that the appeal could

be dismissed without further notice if appellant did not file by March 3, 2014 written verification

that it had made arrangements to pay for the record or was entitled to proceed without pre-

payment of costs, appellant has failed to confirm payment has been made or pre-payment is not

required. See id. 37.3(b). 1 Because appellant has failed to file the requested verification, nothing

in our records reflect appellant is entitled to proceed without pre-payment of costs, and appellant

     1
       Additionally, appellee notes that the trial court granted a motion for new trial, and the matter is currently pending before the trial court.
Appellee, however, did not attach a copy of the order granting the motion for new trial and does not move to dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
has taken no action in the appeal since filing the notice of appeal, we grant appellee’s motion and

dismiss the appeal. See id. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).
