IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF WILLIAM RICHARD JOHNSON, III AND RUTH ELIZABETH JOHNSON AND IN THE INTEREST OF J.K.J., C.D.W.J., IV AND F.J., CHILDREN

On Appeal from the County Court at Law Lamar County, Texas Trial Court No. 81576

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Ruth Elizabeth Johnson filed a notice of appeal from her divorce from William Richard Johnson, III, on November 8, 2013. Despite our communications with counsel, no docketing statement has been filed, and the filing fee has not been paid. There is also no claim of indigence, and we have received a copy of an email from the district clerk indicating that the party has decided not to pursue the appeal. On December 27, we sent Johnson a letter warning that the appeal would be subject to dismissal unless an effort was made to prosecute the appeal by paying the required fees and filing a docketing statement. Any response was due on or before January 6, 2014. We have received nothing.

We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: January 22, 2014 Date Decided: January 23, 2014
