                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The original filing fee for this appeal has not been paid.

      By letter dated June 20, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the

filing fee was past due and that unless appellant obtained indigent status pursuant to

Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145 and Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, the

payment of the fee is required. In the same letter, the Clerk also warned appellant that if

the original filing fee was not paid within 14 days from the date of the letter, the appeal
would be dismissed. Fourteen days have passed and the fee has not been paid. 1

        Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

                                                  TOM GRAY
                                                  Chief Justice

Before Chief Justice Gray,
       Justice Johnson, and
       Justice Smith
Appeal dismissed
Motion dismissed
Opinion delivered and filed July 12, 2023
[CV06]

1
  Instead of receiving the filing fee, we received from appellant a motion for extension of time to file
appellant’s brief. The appellate record has not been filed and is not due to be filed until September 6, 2023;
thus, appellant’s brief is not yet due. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Further, nothing about the filing fee was
mentioned in the motion. Appellant’s motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief, filed on July 7,
2023, is dismissed.
