IN THE INTEREST OF R.L.H. JR. and R.G.H.

CHARLES KREGER Justice

On Appeal from the 279th District Court Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. F-218
,870-C

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The appellant filed a notice of appeal more than thirty days after the trial court signed the final order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. We notified the appellant that the notice of appeal was filed late but that he could request an extension of time for filing the appeal, and we sent a fee bill to the appellant. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 26.3. The appellant neither paid the filing fee for the appeal nor requested an extension of time. On August 12, 2016, we provided an additional ten days to pay the filing fee or file a motion for extension of time and an affidavit of indigence. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(c). The appellant did not file a response within the specified time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

Despite having been given written notice and an opportunity to cure, the appellant neither paid the filing fee nor established that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
