Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00388-CV
ERNEST K. BANKAS, Appellant
V.
MAUREEN BANKAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 301st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-09-13471
ORDER
The record in this case is past due. On April 23, 2015, the trial court sustained the
contest to appellant’s affidavit of indigence. On May 14, 2015, Felicia Pitre, Dallas County
District Clerk, notified the Court that the clerk’s record has been prepared and is being held for
non-payment of $181.00. In a letter dated May 14, 2015, this Court instructed appellant to file,
within ten days, written verification that appellant has paid or made arrangements to pay the
clerk’s fee. We modify the due date for appellant’s response to JUNE 8, 2015. We caution
appellant that failure to provide written verification of payment or payment arrangements for the
clerk’s fee by JUNE 8, 2015 will result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b).
We ORDER Shantel Beheler, Official Court Reporter for the 301st Judicial District
Court, to file, by JUNE 8, 2015, either (1) the reporter’s record, (2) written verification that
appellant has not requested the reporter’s record, or (3) written verification that appellant has not
paid or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record. We caution appellant that if we
receive written verification of no request or no payment or payment arrangements, we will order
the appeal submitted without a reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order by electronic
transmission to Felicia Pitre, Shantel Beheler, and counsel for appellee and, by first-class mail to
appellant.
