                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Perkes
                    Memorandum Opinion by Justice Perkes

       Appellant, Jennifer Paige Meaux, appealed a judgment entered by the 135th

District Court of Victoria County, Texas. On July 11, 2019, the Clerk of this Court notified

appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 9.5(e). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(e). The Clerk directed appellant to file an
amended notice of appeal with the district clerk's office within 30 days from the date of

that notice. On August 19, 2019, the Clerk notified appellant that the defect had not been

corrected and warned appellant that the appeal would be dismissed if the defect was not

cured within ten days.

       On August 6, 2019, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that she was

delinquent in remitting a $205.00 filing fee. The Clerk of this Court notified appellant that

the appeal was subject to dismissal if the filing fee was not paid within ten days from the

date of receipt of this letter. See id. 42.3(b),(c).

       An appellate court may dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to

comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified

time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b),(c). Appellant has failed to respond to this Court’s

notices and has failed to pay the filing fee. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR

WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).

                                                         GREGORY T. PERKES
                                                         Justice
Delivered and filed the
10th day of October, 2019.
