MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-14-00203-CV
Timothy Dewayne OFFORD,
Appellant
v.
Joe L. CUELLAR Sr., Matilda Cuellar, and Joe Louis Cuellar Jr.,
Appellees
From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2010CI03352
Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: June 4, 2014
DISMISSED
When Timothy D. Offord filed this appeal, he was required to pay a $195.00 filing fee. See
TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDER REGARDING FEES CHARGED IN CIVIL CASES IN THE SUPREME
COURT AND THE COURTS OF APPEALS AND BEFORE THE JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT
LITIGATION (Misc. Docket No. 13-9127, Aug. 16, 2013). Because Offord did not pay the filing fee,
the clerk of this court notified him by letter dated March 26, 2014, that his notice of appeal was
conditionally filed and the filing fee was due no later than April 9, 2014.

In addition, the trial court clerk filed a notification of late record, stating that the clerk’s
record, which was due May 5, had not been filed because Offord had not paid or made
arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee to prepare the record and is not entitled to the record without
paying the fee.
On May 9, 2014, we therefore ordered Offord to either (1) provide written proof to this
court that he is indigent or otherwise excused from prepaying fees and costs or (2) pay the appellate
filing fee and provide written proof that he has paid or made arrangements to pay the clerk’s fee
for preparing the record. Our order advised Offord that if he failed to file a satisfactory response
to our order by May 19, 2014, his appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b); 42.3(c).
Offord has not paid the appellate filing fee or filed any response to our May 9, 2014 order.
We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
