                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

      La’Sonya Shankle appealed from an order signed on August 10, 2018. Despite

written notices from this Court and an opportunity to cure, Shankle has neither

established indigence, nor paid the filing fee in her appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5,

20.1; see also Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. She has also not made arrangements to file a

clerk’s record in her appeal, and the District Clerk’s office that is responsible for that

record has informed the Court that Shankle has not paid for the record. See Tex. R.

                                            1
App. P. 37.3(b). On September 11, 2018, we notified the parties that Shankle’s

appeal would be dismissed unless she paid her filing fee. On September 20, 2018,

we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless Shankle established

that she had arranged to pay for the clerk’s record. Shankle, however, has not

responded to the Court’s notices.

      Because there is no satisfactory explanation for Shankle’s failure to pay her

filing fee and no satisfactory explanation for her failure to pay for the clerk’s record

so the District Clerk can file it with the Court, we dismiss Shankle’s appeal for want

of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
