NO. 12-24-00157-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS § APPEAL FROM THE 82ND IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF TIFFANY ANN WALLACE AND JOHN ROBERT § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT WALLACE AND IN THE INTEREST OF S.A.W., T.L.W., AND R.R.W., CHILDREN § ROBERTSON 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. 1 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).

This case was transferred to this court from the Tenth Court of Appeals in Waco, Texas, pursuant to a docket equalization order. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN.§73.001 (West 2013).

On May 28, 2024, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant, John Robert Wallace, 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 June 7. 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.

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

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

Opinion delivered June 12, 2024.

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