MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. On April 22, 2004, this Court advised Appellant that the filing fee was due to have been paid on or before April 19, 2004, 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 filing fee were paid on or before May 3, 2004, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Rule 42.3. The time for paying the filing fee has expired, and Appellant has not complied with the Court's request. Because Appellant has failed after notice to comply with Rule 5, the appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
