Appellant, Erika Quiroz, filed a notice of appeal on June 8, 2026, but neither paid the
appellate filing fee nor established a right to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App.
P. 5, 20.1; see also Tex. Govβt Code Β§Β§ 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, Before the Judicial
Panel on Multi-District Litigation, and in the Business Court, Misc. Docket No. 24-9047 (Tex. July
26, 2024).
Under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the fees for appealing to a court of appeals
are due at the time a notice of appeal is presented to the appellate court for filing. See Tex. R. App.
P. 5. On June 12, 2026, the Clerk of this Court notified Quiroz that this appeal could be dismissed
if she failed to pay the filing fees by June 22, 2026. The Clerk further notified Quiroz 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.
See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. As of todayβs date, Quiroz has neither paid the filing fees nor otherwise
responded to the Clerkβs notice. 1
We dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c).
