                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

       This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.

       On March 12, 2024, the Clerk of this Court sent Appellant a letter requesting payment of

the required filing fee and notifying Appellant that its notice of appeal appeared to be untimely.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless a party is excused by statute

or by appellate rules from paying costs). The letter notified Appellant that its appeal would be

subject to dismissal on or after ten days of the date of the notice unless Appellant (1) tendered the

filing fee or evidence that it was excused from paying the required fee; and (2) demonstrated that

this Court had jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3 (a)–(c) (authorizing an

appellate court to dismiss an appeal when the court lacks jurisdiction, where an appellant fails to
prosecute the appeal, and where an appellant fails to comply with a notice from the clerk requiring

a response or other action within a specified time).

       As of this date, which is more than ten days after the date of the notice, Appellant has not

responded to this Court’s notice on either point. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 5, 43.3(a)–(c).
