Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS § MARK BLAIR, No. 08-19-00304-CV § Appellant, Appeal from the § v. 112th District Court § RITA GAIL BLAIR, of Reagan County, Texas § Appellee. (TC# 1870) §

MEMORANDUM OPINION This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that the Appellant, Mark Blair, has not paid the $205 filing fee or shown he is excused from paying the filling fee, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

On December 6, 2019, the Clerk of the Court sent Appellant a notice that he had not tendered the case filing fee of $205. The notice directed Appellant to pay the filing fee within 20 days. Appellant did not tender payment. In response, the Clerk sent a second request for payment of the case filling fee on January 2, 2020. The letter notified Appellant that failure to pay the case filing fee within twenty days could result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution pursuant to TEX.R.APP.P. 42.3(b) and (c). As of this date, Appellant has not paid the filing fee or otherwise responded to our notices regarding payment of this Court’s filing fee.

Pursuant to Rule 42.3(b) and (c), we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.3(b), (c).1 GINA M. PALAFOX, Justice February 7, 2020 Before Alley, C.J., Rodriguez, and Palafox, JJ.
