                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Joel D. Mallory, has neither paid the required filing fee for this

appeal nor established indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 5 (“A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must
pay—at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are required by

statute or Supreme Court order.”), 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing

indigence); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (Vernon Supp. 2011), §

51.941(a) (Vernon 2005), § 101.041 (Vernon Supp. 2011) (listing fees in court of

appeals); Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and

the Courts of Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation,

Misc. Docket No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007), reprinted in TEX. R. APP. P. app.

A § B(1) (listing fees in court of appeals). On August 8, 2012, appellant was

notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid by

August 20, 2012. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal,

appellant did not adequately respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement

of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

      We dismiss the appeal for failure to pay the filing fee. We dismiss any

pending motions as moot.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Bland and Huddle.
