Before Chief Justice Seerden and Justices Rodriguez and Kennedy(1)
Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, RAQUEL FLORES CISNEROS, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 103rd District Court of Cameron County, Texas, in cause number 98-12-4868-D. Judgment in this cause was signed on November 16, 1999. A timely motion for new trial was filed on December 2, 1999. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), appellant's notice of appeal was due on February 14, 2000, but was not filed until February 23, 2000.
Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's letter, the appeal would be dismissed. To date, no response has been received from appellant.
Additionally, on April 5, 2000, appellant was advised that she was delinquent in remitting the $125.00 filing fee. Notice was given that, unless the filing fee was paid within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's notice, the appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). To date, appellant has failed to pay the filing fee.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, appellant's failure to remit the filing fee, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notices, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
