                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an appeal from the trial court’s order terminating parental rights. The

notice of appeal was filed on November 17, 2014. To date, despite written notices

from this Court and an opportunity to cure, the appellant has neither established

indigence nor paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1. In addition,

no clerk’s record has been filed. The clerk responsible for preparing the record in

this appeal informed the Court that appellant did not make arrangements to pay for

the record.

      On January 8, 2015, this Court notified the parties that the appeal would be

dismissed unless appellant either provided proof of making satisfactory

                                          1
arrangements with the trial court clerk’s office to pay for the record or filed a

motion that reasonably explained the need for additional time to file the record.

Appellant did not respond. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of

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

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
