In the Interest of D. B. O. and E. A. O., Children

On Appeal from the 388th District Court
El Paso County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2015DCM5966

M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N

This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed for failure to pay the required filing fee. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), 5.

Appellant, Rubi Ulloa, filed a notice of appeal on October 9, 2025. Upon filing, the Clerk

of this Court notified Ulloa that the required filing fee and docketing statement were due no later

than October 25, 2025. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless a

party is excused by statute or by appellate rule from paying costs); Tex. R. App. P. 32.1 (requiring
an appellant to file a docketing statement “[p]romptly” upon filing a notice of appeal). The letter

notified Ulloa that this appeal would be dismissed if she did not comply by the deadline. See

Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (authorizing an appellate court to dismiss an appeal where an appellant

fails to comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified

time).

As of this date, Ulloa has not paid the filing fee or shown she is excused from payment,

nor has she filed a docketing statement. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App.

P. 5, 32.1, 42.3(c).
