IN RE D.M. AND M.M., Children, Appellants
On Appeal from the 356th District Court
Hardin County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 47984
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 18, 2011, the Clerk of this Court sent appellants a notice that they had not paid the required appellate fees and allowed them an opportunity to pay the fees or, if appropriate, file a written document establishing a basis for exemption from payment of the appellate fees on or before February 7, 2011. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence). The Clerk notified them that failure to comply with the deadline for payment of fees or establishing exemption could result in dismissal of their claim without further notice. Appellants did not comply with the deadline. Over ten months later, appellants have not paid the fees, filed a document claiming exemption, made arrangements for the appellate record, or taken any other action in this case.
We dismiss this case for failure to pay appellate fees or establish an exemption from payment of such fees. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of fee requirement), 42.3(c) (authorizing involuntary dismissal of civil case).
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Sharp, and Brown.
