MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Anthony Brown, has neither paid the required filing fee for this
appeal nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. 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.”), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing
indigence); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (Vernon Supp. 2011), §
51.941(a) (Vernon 2005), § 101.041 (Vernon Supp. 2011) (listing fees in court of
appeals); Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and
the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation,
Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007), reprinted in TEX. R. APP. P. app.
A § B(1) (listing fees in court of appeals). The filing fee was due on February 27,
2012. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal for failure to
pay the filing fee, appellant did not adequately respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5
(allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).
We dismiss the appeal for failure to pay the filing fee. We dismiss any
pending motions as moot.
