ESTATE OF Roldan CHAVEZ and Leonor Chavez,

Honorable Jose A. Lopez, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 20, 2013
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
To date, appellant has failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal. Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 5 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.
On October 17, 2013, we ordered appellant to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee in this
appeal or (2) provide written proof to this court that appellant is excused by statute or these rules
04-13-00652-CV
from paying the filing fee on or before November 1, 2013. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing
that party who qualifies as indigent under Rule 20 may proceed without advance payment of costs).
We warned that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be
dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
Because appellant has failed to pay the filing fee or provide written proof that he is excused
from paying the filing fee, we dismiss this appeal. See id.
