COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
ADRIANA TORRES D/B/A COQUETAS, Appellant,
v.
ARACELY OROZCO D/B/A MIA VICTORIA, Appellee.
On appeal from the 107th District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides
Appellant Adriana Torres d/b/a Coquetas filed a notice of appeal from a judgment
rendered in favor of appellee, Aracely Orozco d/b/a Mia Victoria, in a breach of contract
case.
On June 1, 2020, appellant filed her notice of appeal. On July 13, 2020, the Clerk
of this Court requested appellant to pay the $205.00 filing fee for the notice of appeal
within ten days. Appellant did not pay the fee. On October 27, 2020, the Clerk of this
Court notified appellant that she was delinquent in paying the fee and advised appellant
that we would dismiss her appeal unless the filing fee was paid within ten days. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 42.3(c). To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee or otherwise responded
to the notices from the Clerk.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and
appellant’s failure to pay the filing fee, is of the opinion that this appeal should be
dismissed. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c) (authorizing the court to dismiss an appeal for want of
prosecution or because appellant has failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate
rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within
a specified time); Smith v. DC Civil Constr., LLC, 521 S.W.3d 75, 76 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio 2017, no pet.). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution and
because appellant failed to comply with the requirements of the appellate rules and
directives from the Clerk. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b),(c).
