Honorable Nick Catoe Jr., Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: January 11, 2017
DISMISSED
Because Michael Scott Bleier, appellant, failed to pay the filing fee in this appeal, on
December 16, 2016, we ordered appellant, on or before December 27, 2016, to either (1) pay the
applicable filing fee or (2) provide written proof to this court that he is excused by statute or these
rules from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that party who qualifies as
indigent under Rule 20 may proceed without advance payment of costs). We warned that if
appellant failed to respond within the time provided, this appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3(c). Appellant failed to pay the filing fee or provide written proof that he is excused
from paying the filing fee by the date ordered. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal. See id.
