YOLANDA ZAVALA, § No. 08-23-00009-CV
Appellant, § Appeal from the
v. § 388th Judicial District Court
MIGUEL ZAVALA MEJIA, § of El Paso County, Texas
Appellee. § (TC# 2018DCV4780)
ORDER
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 February 13, 2023, 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 rules from paying costs). The letter notified Appellant
that their appeal would be subject to dismissal on or after twenty days of the date of the notice if
Appellant failed to pay or failed to show they were excused from paying the required fee. 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, which is more than twenty days after the date of the notice, Appellant has
not paid the filing fee or otherwise shown they are excused from paying the required fee.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 43.3(c).
