BARBARA J. COMPTON, Appellant
V.
ARUNDINA LLC AND JKMD HOMES, LLC, Appellees
On Appeal from the 333rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 2023-01179
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellee JKMD Homes, LLC has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for
failure to pay the filing fee and for the reporter’s record. We grant the motion and
dismiss the appeal.
Our records indicate that appellant Barbara J. Compton has not paid the fee
for the clerk’s record or the required filing fee and has not established indigence for
purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1 (indigence), 37.3(b)
(allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s record filed due to appellant’s fault); see
also TEX. GOV’T CODE §§ 51.207, 51.208, 51.851(b), 51.941(a); Order Regarding
Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and
Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation, and in the Business Court,
Misc. Docket No.24-9047 (Tex. July 26, 2024).
Appellant failed to respond to our notices of March 13, 2026 (non-payment
of filing fee) and June 24, 2026 (non-payment for clerk’s record), which advised
appellant that, should she not pay the fee for the clerk’s record or the filing fee or
establish indigence, this appeal was subject to dismissal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5
(allowing enforcement of rule), 37.3(b) (allowing dismissal of appeal if no clerk’s
record filed due to appellant’s fault), 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of
case).
We dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3, 43.2(f). We dismiss any
pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Morgan.
