COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Jason Henry Lathe v. Rachel Lizabeth Lathe Appellate case number: 01-18-00936-CV Trial court case number: 17-03-0243-CVA Trial court: County Court of Atascosa County Appellant, Jason Henry Lathe, has filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s judgment, signed on September 17, 2018. The clerk’s record was due in this case on November 16, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1. Appellant has filed a docketing statement stating that payment arrangements for preparation of the clerk’s record were made with the trial court clerk. The trial court clerk, however, has notified the Clerk of this Court that, as of September 20, 2018, appellant had been notified that the clerk’s record was ready but had not made payment arrangements. The Clerk of this Court then notified appellant that a clerk’s record had not been filed because he had failed to pay, or make arrangements to pay, the fee for preparation of the clerk’s record and, unless he provided written proof that he had paid, or made arrangements, to pay the fee for the clerk’s record by December 20, 2018, the appeal might be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant has not responded as directed, and a clerk’s record has not been filed. Accordingly, appellant is directed to cause a clerk’s record to be filed in this Court or file with this Court written proof from the trial court clerk that he has paid, or made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparation of the clerk’s record or proof that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. If a clerk’s record or written response is not filed as directed within 14 days from the date of this order, the appeal may be dismissed without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(a)(2), 37.3(b). It is so ORDERED. Judge’s signature: /s/ Julie Countiss Acting individually Acting for the Court Date: _January 15, 2019___
