On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2
Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 12-CCV-047150
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellants, LaToya Smith and Melvin Smith, have neither paid the required filing fee for this appeal nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 ("A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay—at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order."), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence); see also TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (Vernon Supp. 2011), § 51.941(a) (Vernon 2005), § 101.041 (Vernon Supp. 2011) (listing fees in court of appeals); Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007), reprinted in TEX. R. APP. P. app. A § B(1) (listing fees in court of appeals). The filing fee was due on June 4, 2012. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal for failure to pay the filing fee, appellants did not adequately respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).
We dismiss the appeal for failure to pay the filing fee. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Higley, Sharp, and Huddle.
