                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Belinda Mancillas Alcala, appealed a judgment entered by the 404th

District Court of Cameron County, Texas. On January 16, 2014, the Clerk of this Court

notified appellant, in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we

would dismiss this appeal unless the $195.00 filing fee was paid within ten days from the

date of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). No response was received and the filing
fee was not paid. On February 7, 2014, the Clerk of this Court again notified appellant,

in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this

appeal unless the $195.00 filing fee was paid within ten days from the date of the notice.

On March 7, 2014, appellant filed a motion to abate the appeal to enable counsel to locate

appellant and obtain money to pay court costs which was denied by the Court on March

28, 2014. Appellant has not paid the $195.00 filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 12.1(b).

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to pay

the filing fee, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. 42.3(b),(c).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution.

                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
24th day of April, 2014.
