On Appeal from the 157th District Court

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from an order granting appellee’s plea to the jurisdiction signed March 18, 2011.  Appellant filed a timely request for findings of fact and conclusions of law.  Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed on March 28, 2011.  To date, our records show that appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the $175.00 appellate filing fee.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent); Tex. R. App. P. 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence); see also Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007) (listing fees in court of appeals); Tex. Gov’t Code Ann.. ' 51.207 (Vernon 2005) (same).

On May 5, 2011, this court ordered appellant to pay the appellate filing fee on or before May 20, 2011, or the appeal would be dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of appeal because appellant has failed to comply with notice or order requiring response or other action within specified time).  Appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee, filed a request for extension of time, or filed any other response to our order.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Brown, and Christopher.
