CURINDA NASH, Appellant, v. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF DALLAS, TEXAS, Appellee.
Appeal from
County Court at Law No. 2
of Dallas County, Texas
(TC # CC-1-01649-B)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion for determination of whether it should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that Appellant has failed to pay the case filing fee and has failed to comply with a notice by the Clerk requiring a response from Appellant, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
Appellant filed a notice with the trial court clerk seeking to appeal the judgment of the trial court, but she did not pay the case filing fee of $195 as required by TEX.R.APP.P. 5 nor did she establish her indigence in accordance with TEX.R.APP.P. 20.1. On October 28, 2013, the Clerk of the Court notified Appellant that the filing fee had not been paid and failure to pay it within twenty days could result in dismissal of the appeal pursuant to TEX.R.APP.P. 42.3(b) and (c). On November 26, 2013, the Clerk sent a letter to Appellant requesting payment of the filing fee and advised Appellant that the appeal would be submitted to the Court for dismissal unless she responded by December 6, 2013. Appellant has not paid the filing fee or otherwise responded to the Clerk's inquiries. We therefore dismiss the appeal.
