On July 11, 2013, the trial court clerk informed this court that appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee and appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the clerk s fee. The trial court clerk s Notification of Late Record is rendered moot by this dismissal. 04-13-00336-CV A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying costs must pay at the time an item is presented for filing whatever fees are required by statute or Supreme Court order. The appellate court may enforce this rule by any order that is just. TEX. R. APP. P. 5. Accordingly, on June 21, 2013, this court ordered appellant to either (1) pay the applicable filing fee or (2) provide written proof to this court that he is excused by statute or the Rules of Appellate Procedure from paying the fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1 (providing that indigent party who complies with provisions of that rule may proceed without advance payment of costs). Our order informed appellant that if he failed to provide such written proof within the time ordered, this appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. Appellant has not responded. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. Costs of appeal are assessed against appellant. PER CURIAM -2-
