V.

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., AND JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., Appellees

On Appeal from the 268th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 21-DCV-282283

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This appeal is from an order of nonsuit signed on July 13, 2023. The notice of appeal was filed July 28, 2023, and it was amended on August 7, 2023. To date, our records show that appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying costs). Tex. Gov’t Code § 51.207 (appellate fees and costs). Moreover, no clerk’s record has been filed. The clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal indicated to the court appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record.

On August 8, 2023, appellant was instructed to pay the appellate filing fee on or before August 18, 2023 or the appeal would be subject to dismissal without further notice. In addition, on August 11, 2023, notification was transmitted to appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice unless, within fifteen days, appellant made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court with proof of payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Appellant did not provide any response to any of those notices.

On September 7, 2023, appellant was ordered to pay the filing fee and demonstrate she had made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record on or before September 18, 2023. See Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a). In the order, the court notified appellant that failure to comply with either of those requirements would leave the appeal subject to dismissal without further notice for want of prosecution.

Appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee, she has not provided this court with proof of payment for the record, nor has she otherwise responded to the court’s order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
