ADAMS, THOMAS ADAMS AND MISTI ADAMS, CHILDREN

_________________________________

FROM THE 99^TH DISTRICT COURT OF LUBBOCK COUNTY;

NO. 2000-511,605; HONORABLE MACKEY HANCOCK, JUDGE

_______________________________

Before BOYD, C.J., and QUINN and JOHNSON, JJ.

The rights of appellant Kayla Adams Harkness to her minor children were terminated by order of the trial court dated March 6, 2002. She timely filed a notice of appeal from that order on March 14, 2002.

The clerk's record has since been filed in this matter. Nevertheless, the filing fee has never been paid, even though no affidavit of indigence has been filed and the court reporter's record has not been received. Appellant was notified by letter dated March 18, 2002, that failure to pay the filing fee could result in dismissal of the appeal. By letter dated August 2, 2002, we notified appellant again that the filing fee had not been paid and the reporter's record had never been filed, and she had ten days from the date of the letter to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. No response to that letter has been provided.

Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed.

Memorandum Opinion

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL AND PIRTLE, JJ.

Appellants James N. Meador and Melissa A. Meador appeal from a final judgment of the trial court. We dismiss the appeal.

The clerk’s record was filed with this court on January 18, 2007, and the reporter’s record was filed on January 24, 2007. Appellants’ brief, therefore, was due on February 23, 2007. By letter dated March 7, 2007, we notified appellants that the due date for the brief had passed, that the brief had not been filed and that no motion for extension of time to file the brief had been received by the court. Citing Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.8 and 42.3, we also informed appellants that the appeal would be subject to dismissal unless a brief accompanied by a response reasonably explaining the failure to file a brief was filed by March 19, 2007. On March 8, 2007, appellants filed a motion to extend the time to file his brief which was granted to March 26, 2007. To date, appellants have filed neither a brief nor a motion requesting an extension of the lapsed deadline.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b).
