No. 07-14-00292-CV
IN RE SCOTT ALAN ODAM
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
August 27, 2014
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Appearing pro se, relator Scott Alan Odam electronically submitted a petition for
writ of mandamus. Rather than tender the required filing fee or an affidavit of indigence,
he argued in his pleading the filing fee was not applicable to him. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5
(requiring payment of fees).
In an August 1, 2014, letter to relator, we addressed his failure to pay the filing
fee. We found none of his asserted grounds for exemption were meritorious and
ordered relator to either pay the filing fee or establish indigence according to appellate
rule 20.1 within fourteen days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (indigence). Failure to comply with this order, we told relator, would result in dismissal of the proceeding without
further notice.
More than the fourteen days have passed and relator has not complied with our
order. Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P.
42.3(c).
James T. Campbell Justice
