Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas October 27, 2015
No. 04-15-00619-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF R.J.P. AND A.R.P., children,
From the 79th Judicial District Court, Jim Wells County, Texas Trial Court No. 00-01-38161-CV Patrick Michael Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER A filing fee of $205.00 was due when this appeal was filed but it was not paid. See TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN THE SUPREME COURT, IN CIVIL CASES IN THE COURTS OF APPEALS, AND BEFORE THE JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 14-9158, Aug. 28, 2015). The clerk of the court notified appellant[s] of this deficiency in a letter dated October 1, 2015. The fee remains unpaid. Rule 5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 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 appellant, not later than November 6, 2015 to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee, or (2) provide written proof to this court that she is indigent or otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule may proceed without advance payment of costs). If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily within the time ordered, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
