CENTEX ASSOCIATES, LLC AND CENTEX ASSOCIATES, LLC D/B/A CENTEX REALTY, LLC, Appellees From the 74th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013-1149-4 MEMORANDUM OPINION The Clerk of this Court notified Appellant by letter dated June 4, 2015 that the original filing fee of $195.00 was past due and that unless Appellant paid the filing fee within fourteen days or filed an indigence affidavit, the appeal would be dismissed without further notification. More than fourteen days have passed, and Appellant has not paid the filing fee. This appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b, c); 10TH TEX. APP. (WACO) LOC. R. 5(c). Absent a specific exemption, the Clerk of the Court must collect filing fees at the time a document is presented for filing. TEX. R. APP. P. 12.1(b); Appendix to TEX. R. APP.

Under these circumstances, we suspend the rule and order the Clerk to write off all unpaid filing fees in this case. TEX. R. APP. P. 2. The write-off of the fees from the accounts receivable of the Court does not eliminate the fees owed by Appellant. REX D.
