i i i i i i MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-08-00471-CV Andres RAMOS, Appellant and Cross-Appellee v. Lucy AMAYA, Appellee and Cross-Appellant From the County Court, Maverick County, Texas Trial Court No. 2654 Honorable Jose A. Aranda, Jr., Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Catherine Stone, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 10, 2008 DISMISSED Andres Ramos and Lucy Amaya each filed notices of appeal from the judgment of the County Court of Maverick County. However, Amaya failed to pay the required filing fee. The clerk of this court notified Amaya by letter that her notice of appeal was conditionally filed and the $175.00 filing fee was due. See Garza v. Garcia, 137 S.W.3d 36, 37-38 (Tex. 2004). Amaya did not pay the filing fee nor did she file her cross-appellant s brief. On October 21, 2008, the court ordered that Amaya must, within ten days, (1) either pay the filing fee or provide 04-08-00471-CV proof that she is indigent or otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee and (2) file her cross-appellant s brief and a written explanation for her failure to timely file a brief. We advised Amaya that if she failed to respond satisfactorily by the date ordered, her appeal would be dismissed. See TEX . R. APP . P. 5, 38.8(a), 42.3. Amaya has not paid the filing fee, filed a brief, or responded in any manner to the court s October 21 order. We therefore order Lucy Amaya s cross-appeal dismissed. Ramos has filed a conditional motion to dismiss his appeal, stating his desire to dismiss his appeal if Amaya s appeal were not pursued. Because we are dismissing Amaya s appeal, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX . R. APP . P. 42.1(a)(1). PER CURIAM -2-
