MEMORANDUM OPINION

Anthony P. Griffin, who is proceeding pro se on his own behalf and on behalf

of other unnamed appellants, has not paid the fee for the clerk’s record or the

required filing fee and has not established indigence for purposes of appellate costs.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1 (indigence), 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE §§ 51.207,

51.208, 51.851(b), 51.941(a); Order Regarding Fees Charged in the Supreme Court,

in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-

District Litigation, and in the Business Court, Misc. Docket No.24-9047 (Tex. July

26, 2024), reprinted in TEX. R. APP. P. app. A § B(1) (listing fees in courts of

appeals).

Appellants failed to respond to our notices of December 3, 2025 (non-

payment of fee for the clerk’s record) and December 10, 2025 (non-payment for

filing fee), which advised appellants that, should they not pay the fee for the clerk’s

record or the filing fee or establish indigence, this appeal was subject to dismissal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule), 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of

appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault), 42.3(c) (allowing

involuntary dismissal of case). Appellants have not responded to this Court’s

notices.

We dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3, 43.2(f). We dismiss any

pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Guerra and Guiney.
