                                MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before QUINN, C.J., and PARKER and YARBROUGH, JJ.

       Appellant, John Wyatt Holliday, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal from

the trial court’s Order Holding Respondent in Contempt for Failure to Pay Child Support

Order, Granting Judgment for Arrearages without paying the requisite filing fee.1 By letter

of October 30, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified Holliday 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 by November 9 would result in dismissal of

       1 Originally appealed to the Third Court of Appeals, this appeal was transferred to this Court by the

Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001.
the appeal. To date, Holliday has neither paid the filing fee nor sought leave to proceed

without payment of court costs.

       Because Holliday 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).
