IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF FELICIA N. GARDNER AND QUINCY D. GARDNER, SR. AND IN THE INTEREST OF Q. D. G., JR., Q.D.G. AND S.B., CHILDREN
APPEAL FROM THE
COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 2
HENDERSON 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, Appellant's docketing statement was due to have been filed at the time the appeal was perfected, i.e., January 2, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. On February 10, 2014, this court sent a notice informing Appellant that he should file a docketing statement within ten days if he had not already done so. On the same date, this court sent Appellant a notice requesting that he remit the filing fee for the appeal on or before February 20, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5 (requiring payment of filing fee at time item is presented for filing).
Appellant did not file the docketing statement or pay the filing fee. Accordingly, on February 21, 2014, this court issued another notice advising Appellant that the docketing statement was past due. The notice also advised Appellant that the filing fee was due to have been paid on or before February 20, 2014, but had not been received. The notice further provided that unless the docketing statement was filed and the filing fee was paid on or before March 3, 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 Appellant has not complied with the court's request. Because Appellant has 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.
