According to information provided by the district clerk, this is an appeal from a judgment signed on January 13, 2003. The notice of appeal was filed on January 17, 2003.

On March 27, 2003, the Court issued an order stating as follows:

Appellant has not 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). 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.).

To date, appellants have not paid the filing fee.
