                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices O’Neill, Francis, and Fillmore
                                   Opinion by Justice Fillmore
   Since the filing of her notice of appeal on March 26, 2013, Rosalinda Tovar has taken no

action in this case. She has failed to pay the required fees and failed to show she is entitled to

proceed in the appeal without advance payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (filing fee), 20.1

(indigency), 35.3 (clerk’s record fee). She has also failed to file the docketing statement as

required by the rules of appellate procedure. See id. 32.1.

       By both postcard and letter, we cautioned Tovar that her appeal would be dismissed

unless she filed the docketing statement and paid the necessary fees or showed she is indigent.

More than a month has elapsed and she has taken no action or otherwise communicated with the
Court.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(b), (c).
