MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the County Court at Law No. 2, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 363305
Honorable David J. Rodriguez, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
Appellant was required to pay $175.00 and $10.00 fees when she filed her notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. Appellant did not pay the required fees. Accordingly, the clerk of this court notified Appellant by letter dated February 14, 2013, that the notice of appeal was conditionally filed and the filing fees were due no later than February 25, 2013.
On March 11, 2013, when the fees remained unpaid, this court ordered Appellant to provide written proof to this court not later than March 26, 2013, that either (1) the $175.00 and $10.00 filing fees have been paid, or (2) Appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fees. See id. We warned Appellant that if she failed to respond as ordered, the appeal would be dismissed. See id. R. 5, 42.3; In re W.J.C., No. 04-05-00532-CV, 2005 WL 3477883, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 21, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.).
To date, Appellant has not filed any response with this court. Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See id. R. 37.3(b), 42.3(c). Costs of this appeal are taxed against Appellant. See id. R. 43.4.
