order dated September 6, 2019, appellant was ordered to provide written proof to this court no

been made to pay the reporter’s fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the

reporter’s fee. Our order stated that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided,

or points raised in appellant’s brief that do not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See TEX.
