S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01519-CV JAY SANDON COOPER, Appellant V. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, CITY OF PLANO, TEXAS PLANO POLICE DEPARTMENT, LINDA MORPHEW HENDERSON, AND CATHERINE ANN BARYCKI, Appellees On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 296-01847-2018 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Whitehill Before the Court is appellant’s motion to extend time to file notice of appeal. Appellant, who has been declared a vexatious litigant, is subject to a prefiling order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.101, 11.103. Pursuant to appellant’s request, the local administrative judge granted appellant permission to file this appeal “conditioned on [appellant] furnishing security in the amount of $2,500.” See id. § 11.102. Appellant, however, filed the appeal without paying the security.

On January 14, 2019, we ordered appellant to file, no later than January 24, 2019, written verification he had furnished the security and cautioned that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. Rather than filing the requested verification, appellant filed an objection to our order. The objection has no merit. Accordingly, we overrule the objection, deny the extension motion, and dismiss the appeal. See id. §§ 11.056, 11.102-.103.
