§ ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS





MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Pursuant to Rule 32.1, Appellant's docketing statement was due to have been filed at the time the appeal was perfected, i.e., November 5, 2003. See Tex. R. App. P. 32.1. On December 8, 2003, this court notified Appellant should file a docketing statement immediately if he had not already done so. However, Appellant failed to file a docketing statement.

On January 12, 2004, this court issued a second notice advising Appellant that the docketing statement was past due and giving him until January 22, 2004 to comply with Rule 32.1. The notice further provided that failure to comply with this second notice would result in the appeal being presented for dismissal in accordance with Rule 42.3. The time for filing the docketing statement under this second notice has expired, and Appellant has not filed the docketing statement as required by Rule 32.1and the court's notices.

Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 32.1, the appeal is dismissed. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

Opinion delivered January 30, 2004.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and DeVasto, J.
