Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed January 4, 2024. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-23-00845-CV STACY DARNELL CARTER, Appellant V. SHELL FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, Appellee On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1201091 MEMORANDUM OPINION This appeal is from a judgment signed September 21, 2023. The notice of appeal was filed November 3, 2023. To date, our records show that appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying costs). Tex. Gov’t Code § 51.207 (appellate fees and costs). Moreover, no clerk’s record has been filed. The clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal informed the court appellant had not paid for the record, and there is otherwise no indication appellant has made arrangements to pay for the record. On November 21, 2023, appellant was instructed to pay the appellate filing fee on or before December 1, 2023 or the appeal would be subject to dismissal without further notice. In addition, on November 22, 2023, notification was transmitted to appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice unless, within fifteen days, appellant made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court with proof of payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Appellant did not provide any response to any of those notices. On December 12, 2023, appellant was ordered to pay the filing fee and demonstrate she had made arrangements to pay for the clerk’s record on or before December 22, 2023. See Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a). In the order, the court notified appellant that failure to comply with either of those requirements would leave the appeal subject to dismissal without further notice for want of prosecution. Appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee, she has not provided this court with proof of payment for the record, nor has she otherwise responded to the court’s order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time). PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Hassan, Poissant, and Wilson. 2
