Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3 of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2024-CCV00291)
Before Alley, C.J., Palafox, and Rodriguez, C.J. (Ret) Rodriguez, C.J. (Ret.) (Sitting by Assignment)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
GINA M. PALAFOX, Justice.
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be dismissed. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3.
By Order dated July 15, 2024, the Court sua sponte extended the deadlines to pay the required filing fee and to file the required docketing statement to August 6, 2024. See Tex.R.App.P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless a party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying costs); Id. at 32.1 (requiring the appellant to file the docketing statement "[p]romptly upon filing the notice of appeal"). The Order notified Appellants that their appeal would be subject to dismissal without further notice pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3 if the fee was not paid and the docketing statement was not received by the deadline. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3 (c) (authorizing an appellate court to dismiss an appeal where an appellant fails to comply with a court order within a specified time).
As of this date, Appellants have not paid the filing fee, shown they are excused from paying the required fee, or filed the required docketing statement. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 5, 42.3(c). All pending motions are denied as moot.
