AND M.M., Children, Appellants On Appeal from the 356th District Court Hardin County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 47984 MEMORANDUM OPINION On January 18, 2011, the Clerk of this Court sent appellants a notice that they had not paid the required appellate fees and allowed them an opportunity to pay the fees or, if appropriate, file a written document establishing a basis for exemption from payment of the appellate fees on or before February 7, 2011. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence).

Over ten months later, appellants have not paid the fees, filed a document claiming exemption, made arrangements for the appellate record, or taken any other action in this case. We dismiss this case for failure to pay appellate fees or establish an exemption from payment of such fees. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of fee requirement), 42.3(c) (authorizing involuntary dismissal of civil case). PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Sharp, and Brown. 2
