In the Matter of the Estate of Melvin L. McEady, Deceased

On Appeal from the Probate Court No 2

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

dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

On December 3, 2025, the Clerk of this Court sent Appellants a letter notifying them that

the required filing fee was due. 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). The letter notified

Appellants that the appeal could be dismissed on or after December 14, 2025, if Appellants failed

to pay the fee. 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, Appellants have not paid the filing fee or otherwise shown an excuse from

payment. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c).
