MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 3, 2006, appellant filed a "Notice of Appeal from Associate Judge's Hearing" in this Court. On March 8, 2006, we wrote to appellant stating it appeared he was appealing an associate judge's ruling to the district court, not to this Court. We asked appellant to notify us within ten days if he was in fact appealing a final judgment to this Court and to provide us with a copy of that final judgment. We warned appellant that if he did not provide us with this, his appeal would be subject to dismissal.
Further, on March 3, 2006, we notified appellant by separate letters that the $125 filing fee and docketing statement were due. We gave appellant ten days to pay the filing fee and to file the docketing statement. We warned appellant that if he failed to comply with our directives within the time allowed, the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice. As of today, appellant has not paid the filing fee or filed a docketing statement. Accordingly, on the Court's own motion, we DISMISS the appeal. See Appendix to the Tex.R.App.P. (B)(1)(a); Tex.R.App.P. 5, 32.1, 42.3.
