LATONYA SCALES AND VICTOR SCALES, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS

NEXT FRIEND OF DEONCYEA CURRY, TIARA SCALES, KIMORA

SCALES AND LAMONTE SCALES, Appellants

V.

JOSE LUIS SALAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1021713

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment signed September 8, 2015. The notice of

appeal was filed October 8, 2015. To date, our records show that appellant has not

paid the appellate filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in

civil cases unless party is excused by statute or by appellate rules from paying

costs); Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 51.207.

On October 28, 2015, this court ordered appellant to pay the appellate filing

fee on or before November 9, 2015, or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant

has not paid the appellate filing fee.

Additionally, the clerk responsible for preparing the record in this appeal

informed the court appellant did not make arrangements to pay for the record. On

November 12, 2015, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court’s

intention to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within fifteen days,

appellant paid or made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court

with proof of payment. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). Appellant has not provided

this court with proof of payment for the record.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing

involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice

from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Donovan, and Brown.
