Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-22-00491-CV

WILLIAM VELASQUEZ, Appellant

V.

VELMA VELASQUEZ BUZO, Appellee

On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 479,995

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This appeal is from a judgment signed June 7, 2022. The notice of appeal was filed July 5, 2022. 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 July 19, 2022, appellant was instructed to pay the appellate filing fee on or before July 29, 2022 or the appeal would be subject to dismissal without further notice. In addition, on January 31, 2023, notification was transmitted to all parties 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 February 23, 2023, appellant was ordered to pay the filing fee and demonstrate he had made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record on or before March 6, 2023. 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, he has not provided this court with proof of payment for the record, nor has he 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, Zimmerer, and Wilson.
