Charles Victor WILLIAMS, Appellant v. Scott STILES, et al., Appellees
From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018-CI-06819
Honorable Norma Gonzales, Judge Presiding
ORDER
A copy of appellant's notice of appeal was filed in this court on August 16, 2018. On that date, the clerk of the court notified the appellant in writing that our records do not reflect that the filing fee in the amount of $205.00 was paid and that the fee was required to be paid or the appeal could be stricken by the court. To date, the fee has not been paid. In addition, the docketing statement has not been filed. Our record contains no evidence that appellant is excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.1.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within ten (10) days of the date of this order that either: (1) the $205.00 filing fee has been paid and the docketing statement has been filed; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. If appellant fails to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(c). All other appellate deadlines are suspended pending appellant's compliance with this order.
