The Clerk further notified Arce that the failure to comply with a Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure, an order of this Court, or a notice from the Clerk requiring a response within a specified time could result in dismissal of this appeal. Arce neither paid the filing fees nor otherwise responded to the Clerk’s notice. We dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c). We dismiss any pending motions as moot. GINA M.
