Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-17-00469-CV Rachel KEIHL, Appellant v. William Howard KEIHL, Appellee From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017CI08924 Honorable Laura Salinas, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 20, 2017 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION When appellant filed this appeal, she was required to pay a filing fee of $205.00. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207(b)(1), 51.941(a); see also id. §§ 51.208, 51.0051;TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN COURTS OF APPEALS, AND BEFORE THE THE JUDICIAL SUPREME COURT, IN CIVIL CASES IN PANEL ON THE MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 14-9158, Aug. 28, 2015). Appellant did not pay the required filing fee when she filed the notice of appeal. The clerk of the court notified appellant of this deficiency in a letter dated July 24, 2017, and advised appellant the filing fee was due no later than August 7, 2017. On 04-17-00469-CV August 16, 2017, when the fee remained unpaid, we ordered appellant, not later than August 28, 2017, to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee, or (2) provide written proof to this court that she is indigent or otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule may proceed without advance payment of costs). The court advised appellant that if she failed to respond satisfactorily within the time ordered, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. The filing fee has not been paid, and appellant has not otherwise responded to our August 16, 2017 order. We therefore order this appeal dismissed for want of prosecution. We further order that appellee recover his costs of this appeal, if any, from appellant. PER CURIAM -2-
