Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Jay Gid Bryan, appearing pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus on April 18, 2011. He did not pay the required filing fee, nor did he file an affidavit of indigence. See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (unless excused by law, filing fee in civil case due when item presented for filing); 20.1 (procedure for indigent in civil cases). By letter of April 19, 2011, we advised relator that "the filing fee in the amount of $125.00 did not accompany the captioned original proceeding. Unless the filing fee is paid by Friday, April 29, 2011, this proceeding will be subject to dismissal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5." On April 27, relator filed a motion requesting an additional five days to pay the filing fee. Nevertheless, as of this date, we have not received the filing fee.
Accordingly, we dismiss relator's petition. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 42.3(c). Relator's motion for additional time is dismissed as moot.
