In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-23-00428-CV ——————————— ANGELICA ALVAREZ AND BLOCK, INC., Appellants V. HS&D LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from the 189th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2022-65488

MEMORANDUM OPINION The filing fee has not been paid. On July 11, 2023, the Court notified the parties that the filing fee had not been paid and that the appeal might be dismissed for nonpayment. On October 6, 2023, the clerk’s record was filed and it does not contain a statement of inability to afford payment of court costs. Appellants have neither paid the required filing fee nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207, 51.208, 51.941(a), 101.041; Order Regarding Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 15-9158 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2015).

After being notified that the appeal was subject to dismissal, appellants failed to respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Hightower, and Guerra.
