             On appeal from the 430th District Court

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
 Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
            Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rodriguez

      Appellant Jason Burkett appealed a judgment signed on February 27, 2018 in the

430th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas. On June 8, 2018, the Clerk of this Court

requested appellant to pay the $205.00 filing fee within ten days. Appellant did not pay

the filing fee. On July 6, 2018, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant, in accordance

with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this appeal unless

the $205.00 filing fee was paid within ten days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). More than
ten days have passed and appellant has neither responded to the notice from the Clerk

nor paid the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 12.1(b).

       The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to pay

the filing fee, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. R. 42.3(b),(c).

Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution.

                                                           NELDA V. RODRIGUEZ
                                                           Justice

Delivered and filed the
2nd day of August, 2018.
