Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-26-00184-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF C.J.M., a Child
From the 2nd 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 16-2364-CV Honorable Jessica Crawford, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice
Delivered and Filed: June 24, 2026
DISMISSED
On April 29, 2026, we issued a letter notifying appellant Tiffany Hazen that she had not:
(1) paid the filing fee of $205 in this appeal; (2) filed a docketing statement; or (3) filed an amended
notice of appeal certifying that she had served the notice of appeal on each court reporter
responsible for preparing and filing the record in this case. On May 5, 2026, we issued an order
cautioning appellant that if she did not correct these deficiencies by May 15, 2026, we would
dismiss the appeal.
After we issued our May 5, 2026 order, we learned that neither that order nor our April 29,
2026 letter had been sent to the correct e-mail address for appellant. Therefore, on our own motion
and in the interest of justice, we issued an order on May 26, 2026 that instructed appellant to: (1) 04-26-00184-CV
either pay the $205 filing fee or provide written proof to this court that she is excused by statute
or the Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee, see TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1; (2) file a
docketing statement; and (3) file an amended notice of appeal. We cautioned appellant that if she
failed to satisfactorily respond by June 5, 2026, this appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 42.3(c).
Appellant did not respond to our May 26, 2026 order, and the notice of appeal filing fee
remains unpaid. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
