MEMORANDUM OPINION

On April 10, 2025, Appellants U.S. American Custom Builder, LLC, Patrick

Keener, and Gwendolyn J. Keener filed a notice of appeal from a judgment signed

on February 10, 2025, from the County Court at Law Number 6 of Montgomery

County, Texas. Upon receiving the notice of appeal from Appellants, the Clerk of

the Court issued a Bill of Costs for the filing fee for the appeal. By letter dated May

15, 2025, we notified the parties that Appellants had not paid the filing fee as directed

1 in our letter and Bill of Costs previously forwarded to Appellants. A Certified Bill

of Costs for the filing fee was enclosed and provided to Appellants. We warned

Appellant in our letter, dated May 15, 2025, that unless the filing fee was paid, the

appeal would be dismissed without further notice on any date after Friday, May 30,

2025. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). As of this date, Appellants have failed to pay the

filing fee as directed by this Court.

Appellants have not paid the filing fee for the appeal. Appellants did not file

a statement of inability to pay costs in this matter and have not shown that they are

entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See id. 20.1. Furthermore, Appellants

failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court requiring a response within

a specified time. See id. 42.3(c). We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See

id. 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
