On Appeal from the County Court at Law Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 25D1273-CCL
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION
Torrin Davis, Appellant, filed a notice of appeal in this matter on May 15, 2026.
Appellant has not filed a docketing statement in accordance with Rule 32.1 of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. Further, he has not tendered the mandatory
$205.00 filing fee associated with the appeal, see TEX. R. APP. P. 5, and has not filed proof of
indigency in lieu of a filing fee, see TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1.
“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.
By letter dated June 8, 2026, Appellant was provided with notice of and an opportunity to
cure these defects. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). The letter further warned Appellant that, if
he did not submit an adequate response to the notice by June 18, 2026, this appeal would be
subject to dismissal for want of prosecution and for failure to comply with the above-cited rules.
Appellant did not file a docketing statement, did not pay the mandatory filing fee, and did not
file proof of indigency in lieu of a filing fee. Furthermore, we have received no communication
from Appellant in response to our June 8 correspondence. Accordingly, this appeal is ripe for
dismissal.
2 Pursuant to Rule 42.3(b) and (c) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss
this appeal for want of prosecution. Id.
Scott E. Stevens Chief Justice
Date Submitted: July 7, 2026 Date Decided: July 8, 2026
