On Appeal from the 246th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2015-13128
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from a judgment signed May 4, 2016. The notice of appeal was filed August 8, 2016. To date, our records show that appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying costs); Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 51.207.
On September 22, 2016, this court ordered appellant to pay the appellate filing fee on or before October 7, 2016, or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jamison, McCally, and Wise.
