MEMORANDUM OPINION
Russell Wayne Giles and Mary Frances Giles, Appellants, filed a notice of
appeal on February 14, 2024, from a final judgment signed on February 7, 2024.
Despite written notice from this Court and an opportunity to cure, to date, Appellants
have neither established indigence nor paid the filing fee for the appeal. See Tex. R.
App. P. 5, 20.1. We notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless
the filing fee was paid. Appellants did not respond to the Court’s notice.
1
Appellants did not file a statement of inability to pay costs and have not shown
that they are entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See id. 20.1. Furthermore,
Appellants failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court requiring a
response within a specified time. See id. 42.3(c). There being no satisfactory
explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, we dismiss the appeal
for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3, 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
