On August 11, 2015, September 18, 2015, and October 19, 2015, we
notified appellant in accordance with rule of appellate procedure 42.3(c) that we
would dismiss this appeal unless the $195 filing fee was paid. See Tex. R. App.

also informed appellant that if he did not pay or make arrangements to pay for

preparation of the appellate record by October 29, 2015, we would dismiss the
appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. 37.3(b), 42.3(c).
Appellant has not paid the $195 filing fee, see Tex. R. App. P. 5, 12.1(b),
and on October 30, 2015, the trial court clerk informed this court that appellant
had not paid for the clerk’s record. Therefore, because appellant has failed to
comply with a requirement of the rules of appellate procedure and the Texas
Supreme Court’s order of August 16, 2013,2 we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R.
App. P. 42.3(c), 43.2(f).
Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
See Tex. R. App. P. 43.4.
