COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS IN THE INTEREST OF § No. 08-22-00152-CV E.S., J.S., K.S., Y.S., and D.A., § Appeal from the CHILDREN. § 65th Judicial District Court § of El Paso County, Texas § (TC# 2021DCM1336) MEMORANDUM OPINION This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. Finding that Appellant has not paid the $205 filing fee or shown she is excused from paying the filing fee, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. On August 5, 2022, the Clerk of this Court sent a letter requesting payment of the required $205 filing fee. The letter notified Appellant that, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3, failure to pay the filing fee within 20 days could result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution or for failure to comply with the Clerk’s notice requiring a response or action within a specified time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c) (authorizing appellate court to dismiss appeal for want of prosecution or where appellant fails to comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time). On August 29, 2022, the Clerk sent a second notice requesting the same action and notifying Appellant of the same risk of dismissal for failure to comply. As of this date, Appellant has not paid the filing fee or otherwise shown she is excused from paying the fee. Thus, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
