GERALD LEE RICKS, Appellant v. ELETHA LACHON RICKS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 212th District Court Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 14-CV-1093
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal from a judgment signed December 29, 2015. The notice of appeal was filed January 25, 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 March 3, 2016, this court ordered appellant to pay the appellate filing fee on or before March 18, 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 Christopher, McCally, and Busby.
