Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas September 24, 2019 No. 04-19-00554-CV Charles J. MELNIK, Appellant v. Dewayne BALDWIN and Tonia Baldwin, Appellees From the County Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 2018-CV-0012 Honorable Bill Squires, Judge Presiding

ORDER A copy of appellant’s notice of appeal was filed in this court on August 19, 2019. The clerk of the court notified appellant in writing that our records did not reflect that the filing fee in the amount of $205 was paid. In addition, our record contains no evidence that appellant is excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 20.

We therefore ORDER appellant to show cause in writing by October 9, 2019 that either: (1) the filing fee has been paid; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the filing fee.

If appellant fails to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee. See id. 5, 42.3(c) All other appellate deadlines are suspended pending the payment of the filing fee.
