MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rodriguez
Appellant Jason Burkett appealed a judgment signed on February 27, 2018 in the
430th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas. On June 8, 2018, the Clerk of this Court
requested appellant to pay the $205.00 filing fee within ten days. Appellant did not pay
the filing fee. On July 6, 2018, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant, in accordance
with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this appeal unless
the $205.00 filing fee was paid within ten days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). More than
ten days have passed and appellant has neither responded to the notice from the Clerk
nor paid the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 12.1(b).
The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to pay
the filing fee, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c).
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution.
NELDA V. RODRIGUEZ
Justice
Delivered and filed the
2nd day of August, 2018.
