MEMORANDUM OPINION


	Tonya L. Horn filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's judgment, but did not pay the
$175 filing fee required for the appeal or submit an affidavit of indigence before or at the time she
filed the notice of appeal.  See Tex.R.App.P. 5, 20.1; see also Tex.Gov't Code Ann. §§ 51.207,
51.941(a), 101.041 (Vernon 2005).  On March 10, 2008, the Fifth Court of Appeals notified
Appellant that the filing fee had not been paid and that failure to pay the filing fee would result in
dismissal of the cause pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(c).  Appellant did not pay the filing fee.  On
April 9, 2008, the Fifth Court of Appeals notified Appellant that the appeal had been transferred to
the Eighth Court of Appeals by order of the Supreme Court.  By letters dated April 14, 2008 and
May 16, 2008, the Clerk of this Court requested that Appellant pay the $175 filing fee.  Appellant
did not pay the filing fee or otherwise respond to the inquiry letters.  Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal.  See Tex.R.App.P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule), 42.3(b), (c)(involuntary dismissal in
civil cases).
