M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a judgment signed June 14, 2007.  The notice of appeal was filed on September 10, 2007.  To date, our records show that appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the $175.00 appellate filing fee.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent); Tex. R. App. P. 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence); see also Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007) (listing fees in court of appeals); Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 51.207 (Vernon 2005) (same).

On October 9, 2007, this court notified appellant that the filing fee was past due.  No response was filed.  After being given the requisite ten-days= notice that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant has not paid the filing fee in accordance with our order of October 25, 2007.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.  Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).
