Elizabeth Rangel v. Ralph A. Saavedra

Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

Courts of Appeals, Before the Judicial 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 for filing. See Tex. R. App. P. 5. On June 29,

2026, the Clerk of this Court notified Rangel that this appeal could be dismissed if she failed to

pay the filing fees by July 9, 2026. The Clerk further notified Rangel 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.

Because Rangel neither paid the filing fees nor otherwise responded to the Clerk’s notice,

we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
