PER CURIAM

 

 

Before Chief Justice Gray,

            Justice Vance, and

            Justice Reyna

(Chief Justice Gray notes that footnote 1 is outside the record in this appeal and that we advised McCray that “the Court may dismiss the appeal unless, within 21 days from the date of this letter, a response is filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal.”)

Appeal dismissed

Opinion delivered and filed February 7, 2007

[CV06]



[1]               Additionally, the trial court’s August 3, 2006 order, noted in the notice of appeal, declaring McCray to be a vexatious litigant, was vacated in an August 31, 2006 order. 

[2]               McCray, a prison inmate, filed in the trial court an affidavit of indigence with his notice of appeal, and the affidavit was not contested.  Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(c)(1), (e).  His indigent status is, therefore, recognized in this appeal only.  Id. 20.1(f), (m).
