NO. 12-21-00112-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS FAITH NICOLE HUGHES, § APPEAL FROM THE 349TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT BAIL BONDS BY RENELL, APPELLEE § HOUSTON COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

A party who is not excused by statute or the appellate rules from paying costs must pay-- at the time an item is presented for filing--whatever fees are required by statute or Texas Supreme Court order. TEX. R. APP. P. 5; see TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. An appellate court may enforce Rule 5 by any order that is just. TEX. R. APP. P. 5. After giving ten days’ notice, an appellate court may dismiss an appeal because the appellant failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

On July 19, 2021, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant, Faith Nicole Hughes, that the filing fee in this appeal is due. Appellant was informed that failure to remit the filing fee on or before July 26, would result in the Court’s taking appropriate action, including dismissal of the case without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). The date for remitting the filing fee

passed, and Appellant has not responded to this Court’s notice, paid the filing fee, or otherwise shown that she is excused from paying the fee. 1 Because Appellant failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 5, the appeal is dismissed.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

Opinion delivered July 30, 2021.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.

The case information sheet from the Houston County District Clerk’s Office reflects that Appellant has not been declared indigent in the trial court.
