STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, CITY OF PLANO,

CATHERINE ANN BARYCKI, Appellees
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 296-01847-2018
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Whitehill
Before the Court is appellant’s motion to extend time to file notice of appeal. Appellant,
who has been declared a vexatious litigant, is subject to a prefiling order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. &
REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.101, 11.103. Pursuant to appellant’s request, the local administrative judge
granted appellant permission to file this appeal “conditioned on [appellant] furnishing security in
the amount of $2,500.” See id. § 11.102. Appellant, however, filed the appeal without paying the
security.
On January 14, 2019, we ordered appellant to file, no later than January 24, 2019, written
verification he had furnished the security and cautioned that failure to do so would result in
dismissal of the appeal without further notice. Rather than filing the requested verification,
appellant filed an objection to our order. The objection has no merit. Accordingly, we overrule
the objection, deny the extension motion, and dismiss the appeal. See id. §§ 11.056, 11.102-.103.
