Jessica A. PolletAppellee/s
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
March 13, 2015
No. 04-15-00106-CV
Nell RAMEY,
Appellant
v.
Jessica A. POLLET,
Appellee
From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-CI-04119
Honorable Martha B. Tanner, Judge Presiding
ORDER
A filing fee of $195.00 was due from Nell Ramey when she filed this appeal, but it was
not paid. See TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN THE SUPREME
COURT, IN CIVIL CASES IN THE COURTS OF APPEALS, AND BEFORE THE JUDICIAL PANEL ON
MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 13-9127, Aug. 16, 2013). The clerk of the court
notified Ramey of this deficiency in a letter dated February 26, 2015. The fee remains unpaid.
Rule 5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 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.
We therefore order appellant Nell Ramey, not later than March 23, 2015 to either (1)
pay the $195.00 filing fee or (2) provide written proof to this court that she is indigent or
otherwise excused by statute or the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule
may proceed without advance payment of costs). If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily
within the time ordered, this appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
