NUMBER 13-25-00535-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG OLGA LEE GONZALEZ, Appellant,
v. LICO GONZALEZ, Appellee.
ON APPEAL FROM THE 105TH DISTRICT COURT OF NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices Peña and West Memorandum Opinion by Justice Peña
On October 24, 2025, appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a final judgment in trial court cause number 2021-FAM-3061-D. On October 27, 2025, the Clerk of the Court requested that appellant pay the $205.00 filing fee for the notice of appeal 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 *2 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 November 17, 2025, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that she was delinquent in submitting the filing fee for the appeal and informed him that the appeal would be dismissed if the filing fee was not paid within 10 days from the date of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
To date, appellant has failed to pay the filing fee for the notice of appeal or otherwise response to the clerk’s notice. 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 filed a corrected notice of appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
L. ARON PEÑA JR. Justice
Delivered and filed on the 8th day of January, 2026.
