ROBERT MCLENDON, Appellant


V.

HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Appellee





On Appeal from the 55th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2007-34069





MEMORANDUM OPINIONAppellant Robert McLendon has neither established indigence, nor paid all the required fees. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence); see also Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §§ 51.207, 51.941(a), 101.041 (Vernon 2006) (listing fees in court of appeals); Fees Civ. Cases B(1), (3) (listing fees in court of appeals).

          Appellant has neither established indigence, nor paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence), 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault).

          After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant did not adequately respond. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

          We dismiss the appeal for nonpayment of all required fees and failure to pay or make arrangements to pay the trial court clerk’s fee for preparation of the clerk’s record. We deny all pending motions.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Keyes and Higley.
