Judge Justin W. Lewis, presiding
Trial Court Cause No. CV289-23DC
JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellants appealed from multiple orders that granted motions for
summary judgment against them. By letter from the Clerk of this Court,
Appellants were notified that the filing fee of $205.00 was due to be paid on or
before Thursday, August 20, 2026, and that the docketing statement was due
on that same date. The filing fee was not paid and the docketing statement
has not been submitted.
On August 25, 2026, by letter from the Clerk of this Court, Appellants
were notified that the filing fee was past due and that the appeal would be
dismissed if payment was not made on or before Friday, September 4, 2026.
By separate letter from the Clerk of this Court, Appellants were notified that
the docketing statement had not been filed and that the appeal would be
dismissed if the docketing statement was not filed on or before Friday,
September 4, 2026.
As of this date, the filing fee has not been paid and the docketing
statement has not been submitted for filing. Accordingly, this appeal is
dismissed for want of prosecution and the failure to comply with directives
from the Clerk of this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
