O P I N I O N Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Yanez

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, REDELL ROGERS, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the County Civil Court at Law No. 2 of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 739577. The notice of appeal and clerk's record were received on October 13, 2000. Pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code §51.207(b)(1) and § 51.941(a)(1), a filing fee in the amount of $125.00 is due upon the filing of an appeal. To date, appellant has failed to pay the filing fee.

On December 18, 2000, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), notice was given to appellant that he was delinquent in remitting this filing fee and that, unless the filing fee was paid within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's notice, this appeal would be dismissed. To date, appellant has failed to respond to this Court's notice. On April 19, 2001, appellee filed an amended motion to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

The Court, having considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to comply with the rules, and appellee's amended motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that appellee's motion should be granted. Appellee's motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
