Appellant, § Appeal from the

v. § 65th District Court

SHEYENNE ANTOINETTE CLARK, § of El Paso County, Texas

Appellee. § (TC# 2025DCM1353)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

On April 28, 2025, the Clerk of this Court sent Megan Francine Bejarano a letter requesting

payment of the required filing fee.1 See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases

unless a party is excused by statute or by appellate rule from paying costs). The letter notified her

that the appeal would be subject to dismissal on or after May 8, 2025, if she failed to pay the filing

fee or failed to show an excuse from payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (authorizing an appellate

court to dismiss an appeal where an appellant fails to comply with a notice from the clerk requiring

a response or other action within a specified time).

1 In addition to the filing fee, the Clerk requested a docketing statement by separate letter. Tex. R. App. P. 32. No docketing statement has been received. As of this date, Bejarano has not paid the filing fee or otherwise shown an excuse from

payment. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c).
