JAMES PAUL BURKS AND KATIELEE BURKS, APPELLANTS v. TAYLOR JIMMERSON, APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 4TH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
RUSK COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
Pursuant to Rule 32.1, Appellants' docketing statement was due to have been filed at the time the appeal was perfected, i.e., April 4, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. On April 14, 2014, this court sent a notice informing Appellants that they should file a docketing statement within ten days if they had not already done so. On the same date, this court sent Appellants a notice requesting that they remit the filing fee for the appeal on or before April 25, 2014.
Appellants did not pay the filing fee or file the docketing statement. Accordingly, on April 29, 2014, this court issued another notice advising Appellants that the docketing statement was past due. The notice also advised Appellants that the filing fee was due to have been paid on or before April 25, 2014, but had not been received. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (requiring payment of filing fee at time an item is presented for filing). The notice further provided that unless the docketing statement was filed and the filing fee was paid on or before May 9, 2014, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Rule 42.3. The time for filing the docketing statement and paying the filing fee has expired, and Appellants have not complied with the court's request. Because Appellants have failed to comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 5 and 32.1, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
