From the 229th Judicial District Court, Starr County, Texas Trial Court No. CS-19-104 Honorable Baldemar Garza, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
The clerk's record and reporter's record in this appeal were due on December 24, 2021. Tex.R.App.P. 35.1. Neither record has been filed. The trial court clerk has filed a notification of late record stating that appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the clerk's record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(a).
We therefore ORDER appellant to file written proof in this court no later than ten (10) days after the date of this order showing that: (1) he has requested that the trial court clerk prepare the clerk's record and that the official court reporter prepare the reporter's record in compliance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 34.5 and 34.6 respectively; and (2) either the fees for preparation of the clerk's record and reporter's record have been paid or payment arrangements have been made, or appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the fees See Tex R App. P. 34.5, 34.6; 20.1(a); Tex R Civ. P. 145.
In addition, appellant has failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5. Therefore, we FURTHER ORDER appellant to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal or (2) provide written proof to this court that he is excused by statute or these rules from paying the filing fee within ten (10) days from the date of this order. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1; see also Tex. R App. P. 42.3(c).
If appellant fails to respond to this order within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
