Opinion
Opinion issued October 10, 2013
In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-13-00548-CV ——————————— MILDRED DUNN A/K/A MILDRED GARRETT A/K/A MILDRED BANKS, Appellant V. PARK HARBOR IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 234th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2010-48259
MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellee, Park Harbor Improvement Association, Inc., has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution, contending that appellant, Mildred Dunn, has failed to pay the appellate filing fees and the costs for preparing the appellate record. Park Harbor requests that we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and assess costs against Dunn. We grant the motion.
Dunn has neither paid the required fees nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207, 51.941(a), 101.041 (West 2013); 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). Further, Dunn has not paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, Dunn filed a response that neither invokes Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1 nor constitutes an adequate response. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1(a)(2)(A), 42.3(b), (c); see also TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 132.001 (West Supp. 2012); TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 312.011(1) (West 2005); In re B.N., 303 S.W.3d 16, 18 (Tex. App.—Waco 2009, no pet.); Smith v. Hayes, 597 S.W.2d 488, 489 (Tex. Civ. App.—Fort Worth 1980, no writ).
Accordingly, we grant Park Harbor’s motion and dismiss the appeal for nonpayment of all required fees and for want of prosecution. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Bland and Huddle.
