MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Daniel Altamirano, proceeding pro se, appealed a judgment entered by
the 430th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas. On April 8, 2015, the Clerk of this
Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal did not comply with Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 9.5 and requested correction of the notice of appeal. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 9.5. Appellant did not correct his notice of appeal.
On April 22, 2015, the Clerk notified appellant that he was delinquent in remitting
the filing fee for this appeal and that the appeal was subject to dismissal if the fee was
not paid within ten days from the date of receipt of the notice. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c).
On June 1, the Clerk again advised appellant that the filing fee had not been paid and the
appeal was subject to dismissal. See id. R. 5, 12.1(b).
To date, appellant has not corrected the notice of appeal or paid his filing fee.
Further, appellant has now filed a motion to dismiss his appeal on grounds that the case
will proceed in the trial court. The Court, having considered the documents on file,
appellant’s failure to pay the filing fee, and appellant’s motion to dismiss the appeal, is of
the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly,
we GRANT appellant’s motion to dismiss and we DISMISS the appeal.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
2nd day of July, 2015.
