Court of Appeals

IN THE INTEREST OF H.A., A CHILD,
On Appeal from the 304th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 12-166w
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Lang, and Fillmore
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
This is an accelerated appeal from the trial court’s order terminating the parental rights of
both H.A.’s mother and father. Elvessie Denise Ewers, who intervened in the case in the trial
court, filed her notice of appeal on November 13, 2013. Since filing her notice of appeal, Ewers
has taken no action in this case. She has failed to pay the required fees and failed to show she is
entitled to proceed in the appeal without advance payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (filing
fee), 20.1 (indigency), 35.3 (clerk’s record fee). She has also failed to file the docketing
statement as required by the rules of appellate procedure. See id. 32.1.
On November 19, 2013, we cautioned Ewers by postcard that her appeal could be
dismissed unless she filed the docketing statement within ten days of the date of the postcard.
On November 21, 2013, we cautioned Ewers by letter that her appeal could be dismissed within
ten days of the date of the letter if she failed to pay the necessary fees or showed she is indigent.
In response to this Court’s communications, Ewers has taken no action or otherwise
communicated with the Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(b), (c).
