On March 25, 2021, we issued a show cause order notifying appellant that she had failed to pay the filing fee required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5. 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.”). Our order instructed appellant to, on or before April 5, 2021, either (1) pay the applicable filing fee for this appeal, or (2) provide written proof to this court that she is excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1; see also TEX. R. APP. P. 5. We notified appellant that if she failed to respond within the time period provided, this appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(c). Appellant failed to respond to our order. Therefore, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Costs of appeal are taxed against appellant.
