Victoria Elizabeth FEIL, Appellant v. Michael William FEIL, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 81st Judicial District Court, Wilson County, Texas
Trial Court No. 10-11-0623-CVW
Honorable Russell H. Wilson, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Jason Pulliam, Justice DISMISSED
When Victoria Elizabeth Feil filed this appeal, she was required to pay a $205.00 filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. 5; TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN CIVIL CASES IN THE SUPREME COURT AND THE COURTS OF APPEALS AND BEFORE THE JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 159158, Aug. 28, 2015). Appellant did not pay the required filing fee; accordingly, the clerk of this court notified her by letter on January 26, 2016, that her notice of appeal was conditionally filed and the filing fee was due no later than February 1, 2016. On February 3, 2016, when the fee remained unpaid, this court ordered that Feil must, not later than February 15, 2016, either (1) pay the applicable filing fee or (2) provide written proof to this court that she is indigent or otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 ("A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay—at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order. The appellate court may enforce this rule by any order that is just."). The court advised Feil that if she failed to respond satisfactorily within the time ordered, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
The filing fee has not been paid, and Feil has not otherwise responded to our February 3, 2016 order. We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
