In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-20-00259-CV
IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF SAMANTHA CHRISTINA KISSELBURG AND JEREMEY MIQUEL KISSELBURG AND IN THE INTEREST OF Z.J.K., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 181st District Court Randall County, Texas Trial Court No. 75,755-B, Honorable Richard Dambold, Presiding
October 23, 2020
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and PARKER and DOSS, JJ.
Appellant, Jeremy Miquel Kisselburg, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s
Final Decree of Divorce without paying the requisite filing fee. By letter of September 28,
2020, the Clerk of this Court notified Kisselburg that the filing fee was overdue and that
unless he was excused from paying court costs under Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1,
failure to pay the filing fee by October 8 would result in dismissal of the appeal. To date,
Kisselburg has not paid the filing fee or sought leave to proceed without payment of court
costs.
Unless a party is excused from paying a filing fee, the Clerk of this Court is required
to collect filing fees set by statute or by the Texas Supreme Court when an item is presented for filing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 12.1(b), 20.1. Although the filing of a proper
notice of appeal invokes an appellate court’s jurisdiction, if a party fails to follow the
prescribed rules of appellate procedure, the appeal may be dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P.
25.1(b).
Because Kisselburg failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules and
a notice from the Clerk requiring action within a specified time, we dismiss the appeal.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
