IN RE R. WAYNE JOHNSON, RELATOR
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Relator R. Wayne Johnson, a Texas prison inmate appearing pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus, but did not accompany his petition with the required filing fee or proof of indigence and the materials required by Chapter 14 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code.
By letter of January 15, 2016, we directed Johnson to pay the filing fee or file an affidavit of indigence, and if indigent, to comply with Chapter 14 by filing an affidavit describing his previous filings and a certified copy of his inmate trust account. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 14.002 (West Supp. 2015) (stating Chapter 14 applies to original proceedings brought by an inmate in an appellate court). The letter further notified Johnson that the proceeding would be subject to dismissal without further notice, should he fail to comply by January 25. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
Johnson has neither paid the filing fee nor proceeded properly as an indigent. Accordingly, this original proceeding is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
