MEMORANDUM OPINION
___________________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
Appellant Kenneth James Shaw filed a notice of appeal on February 28, 2008.
However, he did not pay the $175 filing fee required from appellants under Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 5. Nor did he file an affidavit of indigence per Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 20.1. By letter from this Court dated February 29, 2008, we informed
appellant’s counsel that the filing fee in the amount of $175.00 had not been paid and if
not paid “within ten (10) days from the date of this notice” the appeal may result in
dismissal. TEX . R. APP. P. 42.3(c); see Holt v. F. F. Enterprises, 990 S.W.2d 756 (Tex.
App.–Amarillo 1998, pet. ref’d). The deadline lapsed, and the fee was not received.
Because appellant 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).
