     Appellant, Michele Testa, as administrator of the Estate of Donald Testa, has

filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s March 8, 2023 final judgment.
Appellant has neither paid the required fees nor established indigence for purposes

of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN.

§§ 51.207, 51.208, 51.851(b), 51.941(a); Order, Fees Charged in the Supreme Court,

in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on

Multi-District Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 15-9158 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2015). On July

6, 2023, appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if appellate

costs were not paid, or indigence was not established, by August 7, 2023. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). Appellant did not adequately respond.

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for nonpayment of all required fees. See
