MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
Trial Court No. 14-0255-CV
Honorable W.C. Kirkendall, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice DISMISSED
The clerk's record and reporter's record were both due on January 5, 2015. On January 9, 2015, this court ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court no later than January 19, 2015 that either (1) the clerk's fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the clerk's fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the clerk's fee. Our order informed appellant that if he failed to provide such written proof within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution.
On January 26, 2015, the court reporter filed a letter with this court stating she has had no communication with appellant, nor has she received a deposit to begin work on the reporter's record.
A filing fee of $195.00 was due from appellant when this appeal was filed but was not paid. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 51.941(a) (West 2013); id. §§ 51.0051, 51.207(b)(1), 51.208 (West 2013); TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN CIVIL CASES IN THE SUPREME COURT, IN CIVIL CASES IN THE COURTS OF APPEALS, AND BEFORE THE JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 13-9127, Aug. 16, 2013). On January 13, 2015, this ordered appellant to, no later than January 22, 2015, either (1) pay the applicable filing fee or (2) provide written proof to this court that he is excused by statute or the Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. Our order informed appellant that if he failed to provide such written proof within the time ordered, this appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
Appellant has not responded to either of our orders; therefore, this appeal is dismissed. Costs of appeal are assessed against appellant.
