V.
HANY AHMED, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1165542
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Ryan Ashton Couture, filed an appeal from a final judgment signed
on September 1, 2021. Appellant has not paid for the clerk’s record or the required
filing fee and has not established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 5, 20.1 (indigence), 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s
record filed due to appellant’s fault); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207,
51.208, 51.941(a), 101.041; Order Regarding Fees Charged in the Supreme Court,
in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-
District Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 15-9158 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2015). Appellant
failed to respond to our notices of October 4, 2021 (past due filing fee) and
November 2, 2021 (non-payment for the clerk’s record), that, should appellant not
pay the fee for the clerk’s record or the filing fee or establish indigence, this appeal
was subject to dismissal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule),
37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s
fault), 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case). Appellant has not responded
to this Court’s notices.
We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. We dismiss any pending
motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Hightower, Countiss, and Guerra.
