Abel Villarreal v. Kendal Nicole Villarreal ( 2021 )

In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-20-00285-CV __________________ ABEL VILLARREAL, Appellant V. KENDAL NICOLE VILLARREAL, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 418th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 19-10-14652-CV __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 5, 2021, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. Appellant did not respond. Previously, the trial court found that appellant is not entitled to proceed without payment of costs. On February 22, 2021, this Court entered an order, in which we concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by finding that appellant failed to demonstrate his burden under Rule 145 and that appellant is able to afford payment in installments. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(f), (g); Tex. R. App. P. 1 20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on June 9, 2021 Opinion Delivered June 10, 2021 Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ. 2
