Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

Panel on Multi-District Litigation, and in the Business Court, Misc. Docket No. 24-9047 (Tex. July 26, 2024).

Under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the fees for appealing to a court of appeals are due at the time a notice of appeal is presented to the appellate court for filing. See Tex. R. App. P. 5. On July 13, 2026, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the fees were due and that this appeal could be dismissed if she failed to pay the filing fees by July 23, 2026. The Clerk further notified Appellant that the failure to comply with a Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure, an order of this Court, or a notice from the Clerk requiring a response within a specified time could result in dismissal of this appeal. Appellant neither paid the filing fees nor otherwise responded to the Clerk’s notice. 1 We dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
