MEMORANDUM Opinion
Chad Fenley Davis seeks a writ of mandamus directing Respondent, the Honorable Steve Smith, Judge of the 361st District Court of Brazos County, to issue an order requiring “officials of the 361st Judicial District Court” to return $103 in United States currency in compliance with a 1996 order issued by Respondent’s predecessor in office. The petition is denied.
Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of this Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. Tex. R. App. P. 12.1(b); Appendix to Tex. R.
