In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-17-00234-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF L.C.R., L.R.R., AND L.M.R., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 72nd District Court
Lubbock County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017-525,016, Honorable Meg Jordan, Presiding
July 27, 2017
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Appellant Michael Aaron Reyna filed a notice of appeal from a child support
review order, but did not pay the filing fee or file a statement of inability to afford
payment of court costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1(c). By letter of July 6, 2017, we
notified Mr. Reyna that the filing fee had not been paid, and further notified him that the
appeal would be subject to dismissal if he failed to pay the fee, or comply with Appellate
Rule 20.1, by July 17. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1, 42.3(c).
Mr. Reyna has not paid the filing fee or filed any response to our July 6 letter.
The rules that govern this Court’s handling of appeals in civil cases require that a party
who is not excused by law from paying costs must pay the required fees. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 5. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed because of Mr. Reyna’s failure to
comply with a requirement of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P.
42.3(c).
