MAHMOUD "SAMMY" AFIFI, Appellant v. TEHSEL DHAWALI, AN INDIVIDUAL, DHALIWAL LABORATORIES, LLC., DHALIWAL LABS ILLINOIS, LLC., JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, Appellees
On Appeal from the 116th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-17649
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Molberg, Carlyle, and Browning
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
The clerk's record in this case is past due. By letter dated June 12, 2020, we informed appellant the clerk's record had not been filed because appellant had not paid for the clerk's record. We directed appellant to provide, within ten days, (1) verification of payment or arrangements to pay for the clerk's record, or (2) written documentation that appellant had been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not provided the required documentation, nor otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
Our record contains a statement of inability to pay filed in this Court on June 8, 2020. By letter dated June 15, 2020 we informed appellant that pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1, he could proceed without payment of the appellate court filing fees, but costs for the record were governed by Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145. Our record does not show appellant filed a statement of inability to pay in the trial court as required by rule 145.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(b), (c).
