Appellant, § Appeal from the

v. § 394th Judicial District Court

PRESIDIO COUNTY, TEXAS § of Presidio County, Texas

Appellee. § (TC# 8244)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

On September 3, 2024, the Clerk of this Court sent Appellant a letter requesting payment

of the required filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless a

party is excused by statute or by appellate rule from paying costs). The letter notified Appellant

the appeal would be subject to dismissal if, on or after September 23, 2024, the fee remained

unpaid, or Appellant failed to otherwise show an excuse from payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3

(c) (authorizing an appellate court to dismiss an appeal where an appellant fails to comply with a

notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time). As of this date, Appellant has neither paid said fee nor shown she is excused. Accordingly,

we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 43.3(c).
