V.
ANA MARIA ZAPATA-MUNDY, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. One
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 737771
Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Tranessia Henry has filed an appeal from a jury verdict resulting in a take-nothing judgment in her lawsuit against Ana Maria Zapata-Mundy. The judgment was signed on October 18, 2002. The record was therefore due no later than February 18, 2003. Henry has not met the requirements of Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(b) by paying the reporter's fee or by making satisfactory arrangements with the court reporter to pay the fee. After we contacted counsel about this failure, on April 14, 2003, he filed a motion for extension of time to file the record in which he stated he intended to obtain the record and have it filed and stated that payment would be made for the record by May 15, 2003.

We granted the motion based on that representation. We also, however, warned counsel that, if he had not taken those steps by May 15, the appeal would immediately be subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c). We contacted the court reporter on May 23. She informed this Court counsel had not contacted her or made any effort to pay for the preparation of the record.

The appeal is dismissed.
