                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Brown
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright

       Although twice directed to pay the appellate filing fee and both times cautioned that the

appeal could be dismissed without further notice if she did not comply, Bridget Morgan has

failed to pay the fee or show she is excused by statute or the appellate rules from paying the fee.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. Additionally, she has failed to file her brief, despite being cautioned that

failure to file the brief could also result in dismissal of the appeal. See id. 38.8(a)(1).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c).
