U.S. BANK TRUST NA, AS TRUSTEE FOR LSF9 MASTER PARTICIPATION TRUST, Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2015CV07119 Honorable David J. Rodriguez, Judge Presiding

ORDER By order dated March 16, 2016, this court ordered appellant to provide written proof by March 28, 2016, that the reporter’s fee for the preparation of the reporter’s record was paid. The order further stated if appellant failed to provide such proof by March 28, 2016, appellant’s brief would be due by April 15, 2016, and the court would consider only those issues or points raised in appellant’s brief that did not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).

Appellant did not provide written proof of payment and also has not filed his appellant’s brief. It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within fifteen days from the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a).
