                            Fourth Court of Appeals
                                   San Antonio, Texas
                                       November 2, 2018

                                      No. 04-18-00735-CV

                                       Jose S. FAJARDO,
                                            Appellant

                                                v.

                                         RAFCO LLC,
                                           Appellee

                   From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2018CV05195
                            Honorable Jason Wolff, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER

        On September 26, 2018, appellant José S. Fajardo filed a notice of appeal. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 25.1(a). The same day, a deputy clerk of this court notified Appellant in writing that our
records do not show that the $205.00 filing fee has been paid. Further, our records do not
conclusively establish that Appellant is excused by statute or rule from paying the filing fee. See
id. R. 5 (requiring fees in civil cases); id. R. 20.1 (waiving appellate court costs under certain
circumstances). The deputy clerk’s October 11, 2018 letter warned Appellant that if the filing
fee was not paid by October 22, 2018, the appeal could be stricken by this court. To date, this
court has not received payment or a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs.
See id.; see also TEX. R. CIV. P. 145.
        The deputy clerk’s letter also advised Appellant that the docketing statement must be
filed with this court by October 22, 2018. See id. R. 32.1; 4TH TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R.
5.2, http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice-before-the-court/local-rules.aspx. To date, no
docketing statement has been filed.
        We ORDER Appellant to file a docketing statement within TEN DAYS of the date of
this order.
        We ORDER Appellant to show cause in writing within TEN DAYS of the date of this
order that either (1) the $205.00 filing fee has been paid, or (2) Appellant is entitled to appeal
without paying the filing fee.
       If Appellant fails to respond as ordered, this appeal will be dismissed without further
notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3(c); In re W.J.C., No. 04-05-00532-CV, 2005 WL 3477883
(Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 21, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.).
       All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending further order of this court.
