 PROGRESSIVE COUNTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee


                   On Appeal from the 55th District Court
                           Harris County, Texas
                     Trial Court Case No. 2012-10964


                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an attempted appeal from a default judgment signed August 3, 2012.

No motion for new trial was filed. Appellant, Stephen McLemore, filed his notice

of appeal on October 3, 2012.
      If no timely motion for new trial is filed, the notice of appeal is due within

30 days after the judgment is signed. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. In a restricted appeal,

however, the notice of appeal must be filed within six months after the judgment is

signed. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(c). A restricted appeal is available to a party who did

not participate, either in person or through counsel, in the hearing that resulted in

the judgment complained of and who did not timely file a postjudgment motion or

request for findings of fact and conclusions of law. TEX. R. APP. P. 30.

      Appellant’s notice of appeal does not comply with the requirements for

proceeding as a restricted appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(d)(7). Specifically, the

notice (1) does not “state that the appellant is a party affected by the trial court’s

judgment but did not participate—either in person or through counsel—in the

hearing that resulted in the judgment complained of,” (2) does not “state that the

appellant did not timely file either a postjudgment motion, request for findings of

fact and conclusions of law, or notice of appeal,” and (3) is not verified by

appellant. Id.

      On July 19, 2013, this Court notified appellant of his failure to comply with

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1 and instructed appellant to file an

amended notice of appeal within 10 days of the date of the notice. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 25.1(g). Appellant was also notified that failure to file an amended notice




                                          2
of appeal would result in dismissal of his appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 42.3(a). Appellant did not file an amended notice of appeal.

      Additionally, appellant has neither paid the required fees nor established

indigence for purposes of appellate costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1; see also

TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207, 51.941(a), 101.041 (West 2013); Order

Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of

Appeals and Before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, Misc. Docket

No. 07-9138 (Tex. Aug. 28, 2007), reprinted in TEX. R. APP. P. app. A § B(1).

After being notified on May 3, 2013 that this appeal was subject to dismissal,

appellant did not respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 42.3(c).

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction and for

nonpayment of all required fees. We dismiss all other pending motions as moot.

                                 PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Higley, and Massengale.
