Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 29, 2014

No. 04-14-00028-CV

Carmelita RILEY and Anthony Pena, Appellants

v.

Lizette TORRES, Paula Pueblitz, San Juanita Valdez and Puig Management and Rentals LLC., Appellees

From the 341st Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012CVF001192-D3 Rebecca Ramirez Palomo, Judge Presiding

ORDER To date, appellants have failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal. Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5 provides,

A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay— at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order. The appellate court may enforce this rule by any order that is just.

TEX. R. APP. P. 5.

We, therefore, ORDER appellants, within ten (10) days of the date of this order, to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal or (2) provide written proof to this court that they are excused by statute or these rules from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that party who qualifies as indigent under Rule 20 may proceed without advance payment of costs). If appellants fail to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
