M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a judgment signed March 8, 2004.  The notice of appeal was filed on April 8, 2004, but the appeal was not assigned to this court until February 23, 2005.  Appellant, a juvenile, is represented by retained counsel, James M. Sims.   Our records show that appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the $125.00 appellate filing fee.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5 (requiring payment of fees in civil cases unless indigent);Tex. R. App. P. 20.1 (listing requirements for establishing indigence); see also Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals, Misc. Docket No. 98-9120 (Tex. Jul. 21, 1998) (listing fees in court of appeals); Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 51.207 (Vernon Supp.2004-05) (same).

After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant did not respond.  Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant has failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).
