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.

On January 17, 2013, appellants were notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid by January 28, 2013. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellants did not adequately respond. See TEX. R. APP.
