JANMEL MOORE, Appellant v. WOODBRIDGE CROSS, Appellee
On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 2 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1086225
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from an order signed December 19, 2016. The notice of appeal was filed the same day.
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 (West 2013). Further, the clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the court appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record. Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a)(2) (requiring party responsible for filing clerk's record to pay the clerk's fee or make satisfactory arrangements with the clerk to pay the fee unless party is entitled to appeal without paying the fee).
On January 26, 2017, this court issued an order stating the appeal would be dismissed unless appellant paid the appellate filing fee by January 27, 2017. 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). On February 21, 2017, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court's intention to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within fifteen days, appellant paid or made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court with proof of payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
Appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee or provided proof of payment for the clerk's record. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Jamison, and Brown.
