MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Clerk of this Court notified the parties that this appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution under Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3 and that the appeal would be dismissed if an appropriate response was not filed within twenty-one days. No response has been received. Accordingly, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution.
It is also noted that Appellant has filed a motion for which she did not pay the $10 filing fee. Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of the Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. Tex.R.App.P. 12.1(b); Appendix to TEX. R. APP. P., Order Regarding Fees (July 21, 1998). See also TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 10TH TEX. APP. (WACO) LOC. R. 6; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207(b), 51.901 (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). Under these circumstances, we suspend the rule and order the Clerk to write off all unpaid filing fees in this case. TEX. R. APP. P. 2.
The appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3.
