On July 15, 2025, the Clerk of this Court sent Frantz Pierre a letter requesting payment of the required filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless a party is excused by statute or by appellate rule from paying costs). The letter notified Pierre that this appeal would be subject to dismissal on or after July 26, 2025, if Pierre failed to pay the filing fee or failed to show an excuse from payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (authorizing an appellate court to dismiss an appeal where an appellant fails to comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time).

As of this date, Pierre has not paid the filing fee or otherwise shown an excuse from payment. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c).
