U.S. BANK TRUST NA, AS TRUSTEE FOR LSF9 MASTER PARTICIPATION TRUST,
                                Appellee

                   From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2015CV07119
                        Honorable David J. Rodriguez, Judge Presiding


                                         ORDER
        By order dated March 16, 2016, this court ordered appellant to provide written proof by
March 28, 2016, that the reporter’s fee for the preparation of the reporter’s record was paid. The
order further stated if appellant failed to provide such proof by March 28, 2016, appellant’s brief
would be due by April 15, 2016, and the court would consider only those issues or points raised
in appellant’s brief that did not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See TEX. R. APP. P.
37.3(c).

        Appellant did not provide written proof of payment and also has not filed his appellant’s
brief. It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within fifteen days from
the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. TEX. R.
APP. P. 38.8(a).

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 19th day of April, 2016.
