IN THE INTEREST OF S.P., A CHILD
From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2007CI09346
Honorable Mary Lou Alvarez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
A copy of appellant's notice of appeal was filed in this court on November 16, 2020. When the notice of appeal was filed, this court notified appellant in writing that:
(1) the filing fee in the amount of $205.00 had not been paid and
(2) the certificate of service attached to the notice of appeal did not certify that any court reporter was served in accordance with section 51.017(a) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
The clerk instructed appellant to remit the filing fee and file an amended notice of appeal certifying proper service on the responsible court reporter by November 30, 2020. At this time, the filing fee has not been paid and an amended notice of appeal has not been filed.
We therefore ORDER appellant to show cause in writing, by December 14, 2020, that either: (1) the filing fee has been paid; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fee. If appellant fails to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(c).
We further ORDER appellant, by December 14, 2020, to file either: (1) an amended notice of appeal in compliance with section 51.017(a) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code; or (2) a response stating that appellant will pursue this appeal without a reporter's record.
