MEMORANDUM OPINION
Southcoast Production Inc. filed a notice of appeal on March 11, 2024, from
a final judgment signed on December 12, 2023. Despite written notice from this
Court and an opportunity to cure, to date, Appellant has 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. Appellant
did not respond to the Court’s notice.
1
Appellant did not file a statement of inability to pay costs and has not shown
that it is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See id. 20.1. Furthermore,
Appellant 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.
