v.

Elizabeth Hope Hernandez, Appellee

On Appeal from the 65th District Court El Paso County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025DCM4027

M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N

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 November 12, 2025, the Clerk of this Court sent Appellant a letter notifying him that

the required filing fee was due. 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 that his appeal could be dismissed on or after November 22, 2025, if he failed to pay the

fee. 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 not paid the filing fee or otherwise shown an excuse from

payment. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c).
