ORDER To date, Appellant Robert Munoz has failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal.

The appellate court may enforce this rule by any order that is just.

TEX. R. APP. P. 5.

We, therefore, ORDER appellant, 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 he is excused by statute or these rules from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. If appellant does not pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal or provide written proof to this court that he is excused from paying the filing fee by the date ordered, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
