On Appeal from the 313th District Court

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a judgment signed December 19, 2002.  The notice of appeal was filed on January 6, 2003.  The clerk responsible for preparing the record on appeal informed this Court that appellant has not made arrangements for payment for preparation of the record.  On March 10, 2003, notification was transmitted to all parties of the Court's intent to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within fifteen days, appellant paid or made arrangements to pay for the record and provided this court with proof of payment.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b).  Appellant filed no response.


To date, the filing fee of $125.00 has not been paid.  No proper affidavit of indigence was filed with or before the notice of appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.  Therefore, on March 13, 2003, the Court issued an order stating that unless appellant paid the appellate filing fee of $125.00 within fifteen days of the date of the order, the appeal would be dismissed. 

The filing fee has not been paid, and appellant has not responded to the Court=s order of March 13, 2003.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b) and 42.3(c).
