EYOANWAY MORRIS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 292nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CV18-00700-V

ORDER The reporter’s record is overdue. On February 7, 2019, the court reporter notified the

Court by letter that appellant had neither requested nor paid for a reporter’s record. On the same

date, we sent appellant a letter instructing him to file, within ten days, notice that he has

requested preparation of the reporter’s record and written verification that he has paid or made

arrangements to pay the reporter’s fee or written documentation that he has been found entitled

to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to comply may result

in an order that the appeal being submitted without the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P.

37.3(c).

On February 21, 2019, the Court received a letter from appellant stating that he contacted

the court reporter who told him the fee for preparation of the reporter’s record was $400. Appellant states that he cannot afford to pay the $400 fee. Appellant has not provided written

documentation demonstrating that he has been found entitled to proceed without payment of

costs. Accordingly, we ORDER the appeal be submitted without the reporter’s record. See id.

Appellant shall file his brief by April 12, 2019.
