On Appeal from the 127th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2018-39561

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Sandra L. Hernandez-Ramirez filed her notice of appeal on April

4, 2025. Appellant did not pay her appellate filing fee or establish indigence for

purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE

§§ 51.207, 51.208, 51.941(a), 101.041; Order, Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-

District Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 24-9047 (Tex. July 26, 2024). The Clerk of

this Court notified Appellant that unless she paid the appellate filing fee by July 25,

2025, her appeal could be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). To date, Appellant

has not paid the appellate filing fee nor established indigence for purposes of

appellate costs.

Appellant also failed to pay, or make arrangements to pay, the fee for

preparing the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145; TEX. R. APP. P. 34.1. We

notified Appellant that her appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the

clerk’s record was not filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a), (b). We directed Appellant

to submit written evidence from the trial court clerk by August 7, 2025, reflecting

she paid, or made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparing the clerk’s record. To

date, Appellant has not responded to this Court’s notice and the clerk’s record has

not been filed.

We dismiss the appeal for nonpayment of all required fees and for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b)–(c). We dismiss all pending

motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Guiney, and Morgan.
