                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Brown
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       This is an appeal in a parental termination case. Appellant filed an affidavit of indigence
to which two contests were filed. The trial court sustained the contests and, on review, this Court
affirmed the trial court’s order.
        In an order dated September 22, 2014, we ordered the district clerk to file, by October 2,
2014, either the clerk’s record or written verification that appellant had not paid or made
arrangements to pay for the record. We cautioned appellant that if the Court received written
verification of no payment, we may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. On October 2,
2014, the Court received written verification from the district clerk that appellant had not paid or
made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b) & 42.3(b).
