HARLAN CROW, Appellee
On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-13-23109
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
Appellant filed a “Notice of Abatement and Vacatur” in which she requests that this case be
“dissolved as if never filed” and that this Court “immediately refund to Chelsea L. Davis all filing
fees and costs for failure to file.” We treat appellant’s pleading as a motion to dismiss the appeal,
grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Appellant cites no statute
or rule that excuses her from paying filing fees. We deny relator’s request that her filing fees be
refunded. 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.”)
