         ORDERED to pay the required $175 filing fee to the Clerk of this Court by May 31, 2013. See
         TEX. R. APP. P. 5; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 51.207 (West Supp. 2011), § 51.941(a)
         (West 2005), § 101.041 (West Supp. 2011). If appellant does not pay the required $175 filing fee

         to pay the Harris County District Clerk’s office the fee for the preparation of the clerk’s record by
