                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Scarlett Woods filed a notice of appeal from an order sustaining a contest to

a sworn statement of inability to pay costs in a forcible entry and detainer case. We

questioned our jurisdiction. See Redlich v. Ranch, 02-14-00390-CV, 2015 WL
226038, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Jan. 15, 2015, no pet. h.) (mem. op.)

(holding that an order sustaining a contest to an affidavit of inability to pay is

neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order). We directed the

appellant to file a written response by February 17, 2015, but no response has been

                                         1
filed. The appellant failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court

requiring a response within a specified time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
