JESSE ANDREW LOPEZ, Appellant v. SHARI GRACE OCCHIOGROSSO, Appellee
On Appeal from the 328th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 17-DCV-240212
ORDER
The notice of appeal in this case was filed April 24, 2017. The clerk responsible for preparing the record notified this court that appellant had not made payment for the record. On June 13, 2017, this court notified appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal unless appellant filed a response with proof of payment for the record. In response, appellant notified this court he was indigent. This court deemed appellant indigent for purposes of the appellate filing fee only. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. This court further informed appellant that to obtain the clerk's record without payment of costs, a party must file a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs in the trial court. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145. Appellant has not demonstrated to this court that he has paid for the record or that he has complied with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145 in the trial court. Therefore, the court issues the following order.
Appellant is ordered to demonstrate to this court that he has made arrangements to pay for the clerk's record or filed a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs pursuant to Rule 145 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure on or before September 15, 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c). If appellant fails to do so, the appeal will be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Brown, and Wise.
