Sheldon Philip BRANDON, Appellant

v.

Armandina BRANDON, Appellee

From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025-CI-16859 Honorable Mary Lou Alvarez, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 8, 2026

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

On March 25, 2026, the appellant filed a notice of appeal without paying the requisite filing

fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. We notified appellant by letter that the notice of appeal had been

conditionally filed because the filing fee had not been paid. We instructed appellant to pay the fee

and cautioned if the fee was not paid, the appeal was subject to being stricken by this court. The

fee was not paid. 04-26-00258-CV

On May 20, 2026, we ordered appellant, by June 1, 2026, to either: (1) pay the filing fee;

or (2) provide written proof it was entitled to appeal without paying the filing fee. We warned

appellant if it failed to respond within the time ordered, we would dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 5, 42.3(c).

Appellant has not paid the filing fee or responded to our order as directed. Accordingly,

we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(c); Zayas v. Denson, No. 04-18-00373-CV,

2018 WL 3551193, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 25, 2018, no pet.) (mem. op.) (dismissing

appeal for failure to pay filing fee).
