v.

FNA 2019-1, LLC and The City of El Paso, Appellees

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No 6 El Paso County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025DTX0092

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

Appellant, Irene Bacos, timely appealed from the trial court’s judgment on

February 27, 2026, but neither paid the appellate filing fees nor established a right to proceed

without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1; see also Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §§ 51.207,

51.208, 51.851(b), 51.941(a); Order Regarding Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases in the 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 to the appellate court for filing. See Tex. R. App.

P. 5. On March 3, 2026, the Clerk of this Court notified Bacos that this appeal could be dismissed

if she failed to pay the filing fees by March 13, 2026. The Clerk further notified Bacos 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.

Bacos 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).
