Fourth Court of Appeals
                                   San Antonio, Texas
                                        February 11, 2014

                                       No. 04-14-00062-CV

                                Steven STAMPS and Eva Stamps,
                                          Appellants

                                                 v.

                                         Alva Elia RUIZ,
                                            Appellee

                  From the 365th Judicial District Court, Dimmit County, Texas
                            Trial Court No. 12-08-11759-DCVAJA
                       Honorable Amado J. Abascal, III, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
      To date, Appellants have failed to pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal. Texas Rule
of Appellate Procedure 5 provides,

       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.

       We, therefore, ORDER appellants, within ten (10) days of the date of this order, to either
(1) pay the applicable filing fee in this appeal or (2) provide written proof to this court that they
are excused by statute or these rules from paying the filing fee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1
(providing that party who qualifies as indigent under Rule 20 may proceed without advance
payment of costs). If appellants fail to respond within the time provided, this appeal will be
dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

                                                      _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 11th day of February, 2014.
