                      On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
                                   Collin County, Texas

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Whitehill
                                 Opinion by Justice Whitehill
       Before the Court is appellant’s motion to extend time to file notice of appeal. Appellant,

who has been declared a vexatious litigant, is subject to a prefiling order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. &

REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.101, 11.103. Pursuant to appellant’s request, the local administrative judge

granted appellant permission to file this appeal “conditioned on [appellant] furnishing security in

the amount of $2,500.” See id. § 11.102. Appellant, however, filed the appeal without paying the

security.

       On January 14, 2019, we ordered appellant to file, no later than January 24, 2019, written

verification he had furnished the security and cautioned that failure to do so would result in
dismissal of the appeal without further notice. Rather than filing the requested verification,

appellant filed an objection to our order. The objection has no merit. Accordingly, we overrule

the objection, deny the extension motion, and dismiss the appeal. See id. §§ 11.056, 11.102-.103.
