NO. 07-12-00508-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL A JANUARY 17, 2013 IN THE INTEREST OF D.N. AND D.N., CHILDREN FROM THE 84TH DISTRICT COURT OF HANSFORD COUNTY; NO. CV05034; HONORABLE WILLIAM D. SMITH, JUDGE Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ. ORDER OF DISMISSAL Appellant, Angel Natera, filed a notice of appeal indicating that Natera desired to appeal the trial court s October 31, 2012 order terminating Natera s parental rights. By letter dated November 28, 2012, Natera was notified that, among other things, a filing fee of $175 had not been paid, and failure to do so within ten days could result in dismissal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c). No fee having been received within the deadline, by letter dated December 12, Natera was again advised of the outstanding filing fee and the consequences of failing to pay. He was also specifically notified that the clerk s record contains an order of the trial court that includes a finding that Natera is not indigent. Despite two notices and a reasonable time in which to comply with this Court's request, Natera has failed to pay the filing fee. Consequently, this Court is authorized to dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3. Accordingly, Angel Natera s appeal is dismissed. 1 Per Curiam 1 By this order, only Angel Natera s appeal is dismissed. This order has no effect on Juana Martha Natera s pending appeal of the trial court s order of termination. 2
