                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                     PER CURIAM
       This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with a requirement of the appellate
rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a
specified time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
       A party who is not excused by statute or the appellate rules from paying costs must pay--
at the time an item is presented for filing--whatever fees are required by statute or Texas
Supreme Court order. TEX. R. APP. P. 5; see TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. An appellate court may
enforce Rule 5 by any order that is just. TEX. R. APP. P. 5. After giving ten days’ notice, an
appellate court may dismiss an appeal because the appellant failed to comply with a requirement
of the appellate rules, a court order, or a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other
action within a specified time. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
       On August 12, 2021, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant, Progressive Advanced
Insurance Company, that the filing fee in this appeal is due. Appellant was informed that failure
to remit the filing fee on or before August 23, would result in the Court’s taking appropriate
action, including dismissal of the case without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). The

                                                1
date for remitting the filing fee passed, and Appellant has not responded to this Court’s notice in
writing, paid the filing fee, or otherwise shown that it is excused from paying the fee.
         Because Appellant failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 5, the appeal is dismissed. 1
See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
