From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Laura Salinas, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On July 24, 2015, Appellant Joshua Chubasco Lira filed a notice of appeal in this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(a). The same day, the clerk of this court notified Appellant in writing that our records do not show that the $195.00 or $10.00 filing fees have been paid. Further, our records do not show that Appellant is excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fees. See id. R. 5 (requiring fees in civil cases); id. R. 20.1 (waiving fees if indigence established). The clerk's July 24, 2015 letter warned Appellant if the filing fees were not paid by August 7, 2015, the appeal could be stricken by the court. To date, this court has not received payment or an affidavit of indigence. See id. R. 20.1(c)(1).
The clerk's letter also advised Appellant that the docketing statement must be filed with this court by August 7, 2015. See id. R. 32.1; 4TH TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R. 5.2, available at http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice-before-the-court/local-rules.aspx. To date, no docketing statement has been filed. Appellant must file a docketing statement within TEN DAYS of the date of this order.
We ORDER Appellant Joshua Chubasco Lira to show cause in writing within TEN DAYS of the date of this order that either (1) the $195.00 and $10.00 filing fees have been paid, or (2) Appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fees. If Appellant fails to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(c); In re W.J.C., No. 04-05-00532-CV, 2005 WL 3477883 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 21, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.).
All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending further order of this court.
