                            ANDREW GARZA, APPELLANT

                                            V.

                          THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

                          On Appeal from the 140th District Court
                                  Lubbock County, Texas
           Trial Court No. 2020-539-734, Honorable Douglas H. Freitag, Presiding

                                    August 16, 2023
                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before QUINN, C.J., and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.

      Appellant, Andrew Garza, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal from the trial

court’s judgment without paying the requisite filing fee. By letter of July 25, 2023, the

Clerk of this Court notified Garza that the filing fee was overdue and that unless he was

excused from paying court costs under Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, failure to pay

the filing fee within ten days would result in dismissal of the appeal. To date, Garza has

neither paid the filing fee nor sought leave to proceed without payment of court costs.
      Because Garza has failed to comply with a requirement of the appellate rules and

a notice from the Clerk requiring action within a specified time, we dismiss the appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b), 42.3(c).
