                          IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

              TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

                                     TYLER, TEXAS

RISING S COMPANY, LLC,                           §         APPEAL FROM THE 173RD
APPELLANT

V.                                               §         JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

LOUIS BIRDSONG,
APPELLEE                                         §         HENDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS

                                  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 28, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant, Rising S. Company,
LLC, that the filing fee in this appeal is due and that the appeal would be subject to dismissal if
the fee was not paid on or before September 7. The date for remitting the filing fee passed, and
Appellant has not paid the 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.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
