City of San Antonio Building

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas August 13, 2014 No. 04-14-00508-CV Rudy MENDEZ, Appellant v. CITY OF SAN ANTONIO BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, Appellee From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014-CI-08659 Honorable Barbara Hanson Nellermoe, Judge Presiding

ORDER A filing fee of $195.00 was due from appellant Rudy Mendez 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). The clerk of the court notified appellant of this deficiency in a letter dated July 22, 2014. The fee remains unpaid. Rule 5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay B at the time an item is presented for filing B 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 appellant, not later than August 22, 2014, to 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 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule may proceed without advance payment of costs). If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily within the time ordered, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. _________________________________ Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 13th day of August, 2014.
