IN THE INTEREST OF E.J.V.


From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-CI-14089
The Honorable Eric Rodriguez, Judge Presiding

ORDER

The docketing statement was due on February 5, 2018, but has not been filed. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 32.1(a) (providing an appellant in a civil case shall file a docketing statement promptly upon filing the notice of appeal). We order appellant to file the docketing statement by March 5 , 2018. A failure to comply with this order may result in this appeal being dismissed without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

Furthermore, a filing fee of $205 was due when this appeal was filed, but it was not paid. See Tex. Sup. Ct., Fees Charged in the Supreme Court, In Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation, Docket No. 15-9158 (Aug. 28, 2015). The fee remains unpaid, and appellant has not filed a sworn statement of inability to afford payment of court costs.

We therefore order appellant Hector Hugo Victorino-Arias, by March 5 , 2018 , to either: (1) pay the filing fee; or (2) provide written proof to this court that he is indigent or otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from prepaying fees and costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule may proceed without advance payment of costs).

If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily within the time ordered, this appeal may be dismissed without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (providing appellate courts may enforce rule requiring payment of costs "by any order that is just"), 42.3(c) (permitting appellate courts to dismiss an appeal when appellant fails to comply with a court order).
