RAPHIZA LOUZIERO, Appellee
On Appeal from the 310th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2011-55986
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, James Brandon Clinton, has neither paid the required filing fee
for this appeal nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 5 (“A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying
costs must pay—at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are
required by statute or Supreme Court order.”), 20.1 (listing requirements for
establishing indigence); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (Vernon Supp.
2012), § 51.941(a) (Vernon 2005), § 101.041 (Vernon Supp. 2012) (listing fees in
court of appeals); Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme
Court and the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007), reprinted in TEX. R.
APP. P. app. A § B(1) (listing fees in court of appeals). The filing fee was due on
August 27, 2012. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal,
appellant did not respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule);
42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. We dismiss
any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Massengale.
