this appeal nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 5 (“A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs

must pay—at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order.”), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing

indigence); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (Vernon Supp. 2011), §

51.941(a) (Vernon 2005), § 101.041 (Vernon Supp. 2011) (listing fees in court of

appeals); Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and

A § B(1) (listing fees in court of appeals). On April 25, 2012, this Court ordered

appellant to pay the filing fee as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5,

or the appeal would be dismissed. After being notified that this appeal was subject

to dismissal for failure to pay the filing fee, appellant did not adequately respond.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary

dismissal of case).

We dismiss the appeal. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
