                                    CHARLES D. CARTER, Appellee

                                          On Appeal from the 29th District Court

                                                       Palo Pinto County, Texas

                                                  Trial Court Cause No. C40280

                                             M E M O R A N D U M     O P I N I O N

The trial court signed the divorce decree on February 10, 2006.  Patricia A. Carter timely filed a notice of appeal.  An affidavit of inability to pay costs on appeal was not filed pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 20.1, and the required filing fee has not been paid.  The clerk of the trial court has informed this court in writing that appellant has not filed a designation of record.

On March 29, 2006, the clerk of this court wrote appellant informing her that this court had received notice that the designation of record had not been filed and directing her to file both the designation and proof of payment on or before April 13, 2006.  On April 21, 2006, the clerk of this court again wrote appellant and directed her to file the required fee as well as the designation of record and proof of payment on or before May 8, 2006.  There has been no response to either of our letters.

The failure to file the clerk=s record appears to be due to appellant=s actions.  Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).  Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
