to do so would result in dismissal of the appeal. Also by postcard dated September 13, 2018, we

informed appellant the docketing statement in this case was due. We cautioned appellant that the

failure to file the docketing statement within ten days might result in the dismissal of this appeal

without further notice.

reporter’s record had not been filed because appellant had not paid for the clerk’s record or the

reporter’s record. We directed appellant to provide verification of payment or arrangements to

pay for the clerk’s and reporter’s records or to provide written documentation appellant had been

found entitled to proceed without payment of costs within ten days. We cautioned appellant that the failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date,
