This pro se appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). The judgment in the instant case was signed on December 21, 2003.

He was further notified that unless he filed a corrected notice of appeal on or before February 9, 2004, the appeal would be referred to the court for dismissal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
On January 20, 2004, Appellant failed an amended notice of appeal, but failed to correct the defect. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(c).
