BARBARA BASKIN, § No. 08-24-00325-CV
Appellant, § Appeal from the
v. § 394th Judicial District Court
PRESIDIO COUNTY, TEXAS § of Presidio County, Texas
Appellee. § (TC# 8244)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be
dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
On September 3, 2024, the Clerk of this Court sent Appellant a letter requesting payment
of the required filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless a
party is excused by statute or by appellate rule from paying costs). The letter notified Appellant
the appeal would be subject to dismissal if, on or after September 23, 2024, the fee remained
unpaid, or Appellant failed to otherwise show an excuse from payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3
(c) (authorizing an appellate court to dismiss an appeal where an appellant fails to comply with a
notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time).
As of this date, Appellant has neither paid said fee nor shown she is excused. Accordingly,
we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 43.3(c).
