Steven STAMPS and Eva Stamps, Appellants v. Alva Elia RUIZ, Appellee
From the 365th Judicial District Court, Dimmit County, Texas
Trial Court No. 12-08-11759-DCVAJA
Honorable Amado J. Abascal, III, Judge Presiding
ORDER
To date, Appellants have failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal. Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5 provides,
A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay— at the time an item is presented for filing—whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order. The appellate court may enforce this rule by any order that is just.TEX. R. APP. P. 5.
We, therefore, ORDER appellants, within ten (10) days of the date of this order, to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal or (2) provide written proof to this court that they are excused by statute or these rules from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that party who qualifies as indigent under Rule 20 may proceed without advance payment of costs). If appellants fail to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
