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 July 2, 2002. The notice of appeal was filed August 1, 2002. To date, the filing fee of $125.00 has not been paid. No proper affidavit of indigence was filed with or before the notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. Therefore, on October 10, 2002, the Court issued an order stating that unless appellants paid the appellate filing fee of $125.00 within fifteen days of the date of the order, the appeal would be dismissed.

The filing fee has not been paid, and appellants have not responded to the Court=s order of October 10, 2002.

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