Elizabeth Rebeles v. B & R Systems, Inc.

Dismiss and Opinion Filed February 26, 2014 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00250-CV ELIZABETH REBELES, HOLLINGSWORTH SAND & GRAVEL, LLC, AND KELLY D. HOLLINGSWORTH, Appellants V. B & R SYSTEMS, INC., Appellee On Appeal from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-11-10674 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Brown Opinion by Chief Justice Wright The appellate filing fee in this appeal has not been paid despite appellants being directed three times to pay the fee, given more than ten days to do so, and cautioned that their appeal could be dismissed for failure to comply. Appellants have also failed to file a brief, again despite being directed to do so, given additional time to do so, and cautioned their appeal would be dismissed. Because nothing in our records reflects appellants are excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee, they have failed to pay those fees, and have failed to file a brief, we dismiss the appeal.
