                        On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
                                   Randall County, Texas
            Trial Court No. 82616-L2, Honorable Matthew C. Martindale, Presiding

                                    December 1, 2023
                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                      Before QUINN, C.J., and PARKER and DOSS, JJ.

       Appellant, Bueford James Friemel d/b/a After Hours Mechanics, proceeding pro

se, filed a notice of appeal without paying the requisite filing fee. By letter dated October

25, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified Friemel that the filing fee was overdue. So too

was he admonished that unless he paid the fee or was otherwise excused from paying

court costs under Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, the appeal would be dismissed. The

deadline to do either was November 6, 2023. To date, he did neither.
      Because Friemel failed to comply with both a requirement of the appellate rules

and the directive from the court requiring action within a specified time, we dismiss the

appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b), 42.3(c).
