COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 2-09-103-CV
EVANGELIST MATTIE TURNER APPELLANT
V.
ATTORNEY BOBBIE EDMONDS APPELLEE
----------
FROM THE 141ST DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT
------------
On July 3, 2009, this court affirmed the trial court’s order sustaining the contest to appellant’s affidavit of inability to pay costs of the appeal. Appellant was ordered to pay the required $175.00 filing fee on or before July 15, 2009. Appellant was also ordered to pay or make arrangements to pay for the preparation of the appellate record on or before July 15, 2009. Appellant was notified that her failure to pay or to make such arrangements would result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(c). Appellant has not paid the $175 filing fee, nor has she made payment arrangements for the appellate record. Instead, appellant filed a “Motion For New Hearing,” which we deny.
Because appellant has failed to comply with a requirement of the rules of appellate procedure and the Texas Supreme Court’s order of August 28, 2007, (footnote: 2) and has not made payment arrangements for the appellate record, it is the opinion of the court that this appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).
Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.4.
