                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       The filing fee, docketing statement, and clerk’s record in this case are past due. By

postcard dated January 5, 2016, 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 January 5, 2016, we

notified appellant the docketing statement had not been filed in this case. We directed appellant

to file the docketing statement within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so

might result in dismissal of this appeal. By letter dated January 19, 2016, we informed appellant

the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant had not paid for or made arrangements to

pay for the clerk’s record.     We directed appellant to provide verification of payment or
arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record or written documentation that appellant had been

found to be 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. Both notices and letter

were sent to the address provided by appellant with her notice of appeal, and both notices and

letter were returned as “not deliverable as addressed.” To date, appellant has not provided a

current address, paid the filing fee, filed the docketing statement, provided the required

documentation, or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of the clerk’s

record.

          Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 37.3(b); 42.3(b),(c).
