COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________

IN THE INTEREST OF I.L.W., A CHILD ____________________________________________________________

On appeal from the 329th District Court of Wharton County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Vela Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

This Court received an “Amended Notice of Appeal of the Order Confirming

Non-Agreed Child Support Review Order” from the Wharton County District Clerk on

February 5, 2010. Upon receiving the notice of appeal, the Clerk of the Court assigned

an appellate cause number. On March 3, 2010, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant,

in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this

appeal unless the $175.00 filing fee was paid. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). The Wharton County District Clerk notified the Court by letter dated June 21, 2010

that the notice of appeal had been mailed to the Court in error and should be disregarded

because the appeal was to the 329th District Court, not the Thirteenth Court of Appeals.

On June 24, 2010, the Court directed appellant to notify the Court whether appellant

desires to appeal within ten days from the date of the letter. Appellant has not

responded to the notices from the Clerk or paid the $175.00 filing fee. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 5, 12.1(b).

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s failure to pay

the filing fee, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. 42.3(b),(c).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution.

PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 31st day of August, 2010.
