                           ZANE HARRIS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the 446th District Court
                              Ector County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. E-23-04-0504-FM

                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Appellant, Emily Elizabeth Harris, filed a pro se notice of appeal from the
trial court’s final protective order. When the appeal was docketed in this court on
June 22, 2023, the clerk of this court requested that Appellant forward the $205 filing
fee and a docketing statement on or before July 7, 2023. We notified Appellant by
letter dated July 14, 2023, that the filing fee and docketing statement were past due.
In that letter, we directed Appellant to pay the $205 filing fee and file the docketing
statement on or before July 21, 2023, and we informed Appellant that failure to do
so “may result in dismissal of the case.” On July 24, 2023, we further extended the
deadline for Appellant to pay the filing fee and file the docketing statement to July
31, 2023, again informing her that failure to comply with these two requirements
“may result in dismissal of the case.” As of this date, we have not received the filing
fee or the docketing statement from Appellant. On August 8, 2023, Appellant
notified our clerk’s office via telephone that she did not wish to pursue the appeal.
      Because Appellant has failed to pay the required filing fee, failed to comply
with this court’s directives, and notified this court that she no longer wishes to pursue
the appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(b), (c).
