MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants Star Construction Services, Inc., Sandra Scherer doing business as

Star Construction Services, Robert Scherer, Individually, and Sandra Scherer

Individually, have neither established indigence, nor paid all the required fees. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent), 20.1

(listing requirements for establishing indigence), 34.1; see also TEX. R. CIV. P. 145;

see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207, 51.208, 51.851(b), 51.941(a) (listing

fees in court of appeals); Order, Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases

in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation,

and in the Business Court, Misc. Docket No. 24-9047 (Tex. July 26, 2024), reprinted

in TEX. R. APP. P. app. A § B(1) (listing fees in court of appeals). Appellants were

notified by the Court that this appeal would be subject to dismissal—unless they

timely informed the Court in writing as to why they should not pay the fees, or

actually pay the fees. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a), (b), 42.3(b). Appellants never

responded as requested by the Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (allowing enforcement

of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

As a result, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution due to the

nonpayment of all required fees. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b)–(c).

We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Guerra and Guiney.
