HENRY JESSE ABREGO v. ERICA SOTO FOR HERSELF ON BEHALF OF MINOR CHILD (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Henry Jesse Abrego, appealed a judgment entered by the County Court at Law No. 7 of Hidalgo County, Texas. On November 3, 2016, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(d)(2). See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(d)(2). The Clerk directed appellant to file an amended notice of appeal with the district clerk's office within thirty days from the date of that notice. On December 8, 2016, 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 November 21, 2016, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that he 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).

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to correct the defect or pay the filing fee, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. See id. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
