Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 8, 2014 No. 04-13-00879-CV Cresenciano SANCHEZ, Appellant v. WALTER MORTGAGE COMPANY LLC, Appellee From the 79th Judicial District Court, Jim Wells County, Texas Trial Court No. 10-03-48901-CV Honorable Richard C. Terrell, Judge Presiding ORDER A filing fee of $195.00 was due from appellant Cresenciano Sanchez when this appeal was filed, but the fee was not paid. See TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN CIVIL CASES IN THE SUPREME COURT AND THE COURTS OF APPEALS AND BEFORE THE JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 13-9127, Aug. 16, 2013). The clerk of the court notified appellant of this deficiency by letter dated December 13, 2013, and requested payment of the fee by December 23, 2013. The fee remains unpaid. In addition, the trial court clerk has filed a notification of late record, stating that the record, which is due January 13, 2014, will not be timely filed because appellant has not paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee to prepare the record, and appellant is not entitled to the record without paying the fee. We therefore order appellant Cresenciano Sanchez must, by January 20, 2014, either: (1) provide written proof to this court that he is indigent or otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from prepaying fees and costs; see TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule may proceed without advance payment of costs); or (2) pay the appellate filing fee to the clerk of this court and provide written proof that he has paid the trial court clerk’s fee for preparing the clerk’s record or has made arrangements satisfactory to the clerk to pay the fee. If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily within the time ordered, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 37.3(b), 42.3. ____________________________________ Luz Elena D.
