On April 11, 2000, this Court overruled D'Ann Ward's motion to vacate the trial court's order that ruled Ward could proceed with an appeal only if she paid for preparation of the clerk's record and the reporter's record. On May 19, 2000, this Court overruled Ward's motion for rehearing regarding the April 11 order. Also on May 19, this Court ordered that Ward must make arrangements to pay the Bell County District Clerk and the court reporter for preparation of any necessary portions of the record by June 2, 2000 or her appeal would be dismissed. On June 7, 2000, the Bell County District Clerk and the court reporter informed this Court that Ward had not arranged to pay for any portions of the records.

We overrule Ward's motion to extend time to file her brief. We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution as Ward has failed to make arrangements to pay for preparation of the clerk's and reporter's records. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(c).
