See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001. filing fee within ten days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (“A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay—at the time an item is presented for filing— whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order. The appellate court may enforce this rule by any order that is just.”); TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (delineating the required fees and costs in an appellate court). On December 21, 2023, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the filing fee was past due and informed him that the appeal would be dismissed if the filing fee was not paid. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c). On January 19, 2024, the Clerk again advised appellant that the filing fee was past due and informed him that the appeal would be dismissed if the filing fee was not paid. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c). To date, appellant has neither paid the filing fee for the appeal nor responded to the Clerk of the Court’s notices. This Court has the authority to dismiss an appeal because the appellant has failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c); Smith v. DC Civil Constr., LLC, 521 S.W.3d 75, 76 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2017, no pet.). Here, appellant has not paid the appellate filing fee and has not otherwise responded to the Clerk’s notices. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
