                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

             IN THE INTEREST OF W. C. N., A CHILD
____________________________________________________________

              On appeal from the 94th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

      This matter is before the Court on a defective notice of appeal and appellant's

failure to correct the defects. On April 3, 2019 and May 7, 2019, the Court advised

appellant that the notice of appeal was not in compliance with Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure 25.1(d)(2) and 9.5(e) and requested correction of the defects within ten days.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(d)(2), 9.5(e), 37.1, 42.3(b),(c). Appellant has failed to correct

the defects or otherwise respond to the Court's notices.
       On May 7, 2019, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant, in accordance with

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this appeal unless the

$205.00 filing fee was paid. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Appellant has not responded

to the notice from the Clerk or paid the $205.00 filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 12.1(b).

       On its own motion, with ten days notice to the parties, an appellate court may

dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to comply with a notice from the

clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and failure to

comply with a notice from the Court. See id.

                                                               NORA L. LONGORIA
                                                               Justice

Delivered and filed the
6th day of June, 2019.
