O P I N I O N

According to information provided by the district clerk, this is an appeal from a judgment signed on January 2, 2002. The notice of appeal was filed on January 25, 2002.

On May 13, 2002, the Court issued an order stating as follows:

This Court's records do not affirmatively show that appellant has paid the appellate filing fee of $125. See Tex. R. App. P. 5; Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals, Misc. Docket No. 98-9120 (Tex. July 21, 1998) Tex. Gov't Code Ann. 51.207(a) (Vernon Supp. 2000). Each party or parties filing a notice of appeal are required to pay the appellate filing fee. Unless within 15 days of the date of this Order appellant pays such filing fee to the Clerk of this Court, the appeal will be dismissed. See Finley v. J.C. Pace Ltd., 4 S.W.3d 319, 321-22 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 1999) (order); Negrini v. Smith, Nelson & Clement P.C., 998 S.W.2d 362, 363 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, no pet.).

As of the date of this opinion, appellant has not paid the filing fee.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 5; 42.3(b), (c).
