                               Court of Appeals
                        Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       The filing fee in this case is past due. By postcard dated August 26, 2015, we notified

appellant the $195 filing fee was due. We directed appellant to remit the filing fee within ten

days and expressly cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the

appeal. Also by postcard dated August 26, 2015, we notified appellant the docketing statement

had not been filed in this case. We directed appellant to file the docketing statement within ten

days. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so might result in dismissal of this appeal. By

opinion dated September 16, 2015, the Court affirmed the trial court’s September 2, 2015 order

sustaining the contest to appellant’s affidavit of indigency. Thereafter, appellant filed a self-

executed promissory note in lieu of payment. Rule 5 of the rules of appellate procedure requires

payment of the filing fee, not a promise to pay. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (party who is not excused
by statute or rules must pay filing fees at time of filing). To date, appellant has not paid the

filing fee, filed the docketing statement, nor responded to notifications regarding the reporter’s

record.

          Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
