                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Lewis
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       By letter dated July 24, 2012, we notified appellant the $175 filing fee was due in this

case. We cautioned appellant that failure to pay the fee within ten days would result in the

dismissal of this appeal. Also by letter dated July 24, 2012, we notified appellant that the district

clerk’s office had informed the Court that the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant

had not paid the fee for the clerk’s record. We directed appellant to provide this Court with

either written verification that she had paid for the clerk’s record or written verification that she

was entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that if the Court did

not receive the required documentation within ten days we might dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution. To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee, provided verification of payment for
the clerk’s record, provided verification that she is entitled to proceed without payment of costs,

or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.

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