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

postcard dated December 5, 2013, we notified appellant the $195 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 December 5,

2013, 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 letters dated January 17, 2014 and March 19,

2014, we informed appellant the clerk’s record had not been filed because appellant had not paid

for the clerk’s record. We directed appellant to provide verification of payment or arrangements

to pay for the clerk’s record or to provide written documentation that he had been found 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. To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee,

filed the docketing statement, provided the required documentation, or otherwise corresponded

with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.

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