ESTHER J. DAMLARKAYA, Appellant V. MEMORIAL HERMANN HOSPITAL SYSTEM, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 999747
MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Esther J. Damlarkaya has 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 (West Supp. 2012), §.51.941(a) (West 2005), § 101.041 (West Supp. 2012) (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 initially due on May 17, 2012. On March 8, 2013, the Court notified appellant that she had not established indigence and that the appeal was subject to dismissal unless the filing fee was paid within 10 days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3 (allowing involuntary dismissal of appeal). Appellant did not respond.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Massengale.
