Samuel C. PERKINS, Appellant v. Lawanda C. Bryant PERKINS, Appellee


From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014CI04753
Honorable Norma Gonzales, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On June 5, 2017, Appellant Samuel C. Perkins filed a notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(a). The same day, a deputy clerk of this court notified Appellant in writing that our records do not show that the $205.00 and $10.00 filing fees have been paid. Further, our records do not conclusively establish 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 appellate court costs under certain circumstances). The deputy clerk's June 5, 2017 letter warned Appellant that if the filing fees were not paid by June 15, 2017, the appeal could be stricken by this court. To date, this court has not received payment or a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs. See id.; see also TEX. R. CIV. P. 145.

We ORDER Appellant to show cause in writing within TEN DAYS of the date of this order that either (1) the $205.00 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 as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed without further notice. 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.
