M2G Real Estate, Ltd. f/k/a B&M M2G REAL ESTATE, LTD. f/k/a B&M Real Estate, Ltd., Appellee From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013-CI-07756 Honorable Karen H. Pozza, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 9, 2015 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION To date, appellant has failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal. Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5 provides, A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay— at the time an item is presented for filing—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. On August 14, 2015, we ordered appellant to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal or (2) provide written proof to this court that appellant is excused by statute or these rules 04-15-00454-CV from paying the filing fee on or before August 31, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that party who qualifies as indigent under Rule 20 may proceed without advance payment of costs). We warned that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Because appellant has failed to pay the filing fee or provide written proof that he is excused from paying the filing fee, we dismiss this appeal. See id. PER CURIAM -2-
