On Appeal from the 157th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 2005-54028

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

This is an accelerated appeal from an order granting appellee=s special appearance signed October 16, 2006.  The notice of appeal was filed on November 8, 2006.  To date, our records show that appellants have not 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 2005) (same).

After being given the requisite ten-days= notice  on January 23, 2007, that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellants did not respond.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.  On February 8, 2007, this court issued an order stating that the appeal would be dismissed unless appellants paid the filing fee by February 20, 2007.  Again, appellants did not respond.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
