NO. 12-23-00059-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS § APPEAL FROM THE 321ST IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF DANIEL § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT ALEXANDER BOUDREAU AND PATSY CARROLL DENMAN § SMITH 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 February 28, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant, Daniel Alexander Boudreau, that the filing fee in this appeal is due and that the appeal would be subject to dismissal if the fee was not paid on or before March 10. The date for remitting the filing fee passed, and Appellant has not paid the fee or otherwise shown that he is excused from paying the fee. 1

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

Because Appellant failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 5, the appeal is dismissed.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). 2 Opinion delivered March 22, 2023.

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

We also note that Appellant has not filed the required docketing statement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1.
