After the clerk's record was due to be filed in this court, the Bexar County District Clerk notified this court that Appellant has not paid the clerk's fee for preparing the record and Appellant is not entitled to a free clerk's record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a).
We order Appellant to provide written proof to this court within ten days of the date of this order that (1) the clerk's fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the clerk's fee, or (2) Appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the clerk's fee. See id. R. 20.1.
Further, Appellant must file an amended notice of appeal certifying proper service on the responsible court reporter(s). See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.017(a); Tex.R.App.P. 25.1(e). We order Appellant to do so within ten days of this order.
Finally, Appellant must pay the filing fee of $205 for this appeal or show proof that he is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5; In re R.J.G., No. 04-19-00817-CV, 2020 WL 214769, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio Jan. 15, 2020, no pet.) (mem. op.). We order Appellant to do so within ten days of this order.
If Appellant fails to respond as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution without further notice. See id. R. 37.3(b); see also id. R. 42.3(c) (authorizing dismissal if Appellant has failed to comply with the rules, a court order, or a notice within a specified amount of time).
