On Appeal from the 155th District Court Austin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2008V-0110

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment signed May 17, 2016. The notice of appeal was filed June 16, 2016. To date, our records show that appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying costs). Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 51.207.

On August 11, 2016, this court ordered appellant to pay the appellate filing fee on or before August 26, 2016, or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Busby, Donovan, and Brown.
