In re TERRY BLANKENSHIP, Relator
___________________________
Order of Dismissal
__________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Relator Terry Blankenship filed a petition for writ of mandamus on June 5, 2012,
but failed to pay the $125 filing fee required under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5.
We informed relator, by letter dated January 11, 2013, that the filing fee was
outstanding and that the appeal would be dismissed unless it was paid by January 22,
2013. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c); see Holt v. F.F. Enterprises, 990 S.W.2d 756 (Tex. App.–
Amarillo 1998, pet. ref’d). The fee has not been paid to date. Nor does the record show
him to be indigent or having requested leave to proceed as an indigent.
Because relator has failed to pay the requisite filing fee as directed by the court,
we dismiss the appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c).
