JESUS H. GAYTAN, Appellant V. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2010-15538

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Jesus H. Gaytan 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 (Vernon Supp. 2012), §.51.941(a) (Vernon 2005), § 101.041 (Vernon 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).

In addition, the county clerk has informed the Court that appellant has neither paid, nor made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparing the clerk=s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault).

After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant did not respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault); 42.3(b) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

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.
