Appeal from the 12th District Court Walker County, Texas, Trial Court No. 23300.
Before Chief Justice GRAY, Justice VANCE, and Justice REYNA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Apparajan Ganesan appeals from an unknown trial court order and various "issues" from his case below.
The Clerk of this Court warned Ganesan that because it appeared to the Court that the "order(s) from which the appeal was (were) taken" was interlocutory, the Court may dismiss the appeal unless a response was filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3, 44.3. Ganesan responded and acknowledged that his "issues" were interlocutory.
This Court has no jurisdiction over an interlocutory appeal except as expressly provided by statute. Stary v. DeBord, 967 S.W.2d 352, 352-53 (Tex. 1998). No statute expressly authorizes the interlocutory appeal of the issues mentioned in Ganesan's response.
Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of the Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. TEX. R. APP. P. 12.1(b); Appendix to TEX. R. APP. P., Order Regarding Fees (July 21, 1998). See also TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 10TH TEX. APP. (WACO) LOC. R. 5; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 51.207(b) (Vernon 2005). Under these circumstances, we suspend the rule and order the Clerk to write off all unpaid filing fees in this case. TEX. R. APP. P. 2.
This appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Appeal dismissed
