                                            TYLER, TEXAS

IN THE MATTER OF THE                                      §    APPEAL FROM THE

MARRIAGE OF DEBORAH MARTIN                                §    COUNTY COURT AT LAW

AND THOMAS SHAFFER                                        §    SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
         By letter dated September 20, 2016, the clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the
filing fee in this appeal is due. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. Appellant was informed that failure to
remit the filing fee on or before September 30, 2016, would result in the Court’s taking
appropriate action, including dismissal of the case without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P.
42.3(c). The date for remitting the filing fee has passed, and Appellant has not complied with the
Court’s request.
         Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 5, the appeal is
dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
Opinion delivered October 5, 2016.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
