On November 9, 2012, appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid by November 19, 2012. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant did not adequately respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).
