Opinion

No. 10-08-00159-CV

Opinion Delivered and filed July 2, 2008.

Original Proceeding.

Petition dismissed.

Before Chief Justice GRAY, Justice VANCE, and Justice REYNA.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


At petitioner's request, we filed a letter as a petition for writ of mandamus. On May 14, 2008, this Court ordered petitioner to pay the original filing fee of $125, within 21 days from the date of the filing. Petitioner was warned that if the fees were not timely paid, the proceeding would be dismissed. More than 21 days have passed, and petitioner has not paid the fees.

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.

Accordingly, this proceeding is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 42.3(c).
