Appellants The Feed Store, Inc., d/b/a Chad and Patricia Langston, et al. filed a notice of appeal on February 22, 2005. However, they did not pay the $125 filing fee required from appellants under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 5.

By letter from this Court dated April 15, 2005, we informed appellants that “the filing fee has not been paid in the captioned appeal. Unless the filing fee in the amount of $125.00 is paid by Monday, April 25, 2005, this appeal will be subject to dismissal.” TEX . R. APP . P. 42.3(c); see Holt v. F. F.

Because appellants have failed to pay the requisite filing fee as directed by the court, we dismiss the appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c). Per Curiam 2
