NO. 12-05-00256-CV

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

APPEAL FROM THE 325TH

IN THE INTEREST OF K.K.W., JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF

A MINOR CHILD

TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Pursuant to Rule 32.1, Appellant s docketing statement was due to have been filed at the time the appeal was perfected, i.e., August 16, 2005. See Tex. R. App. P. 32.1. On August 24, 2005, this Court notified Appellant that she should file a docketing statement immediately if she had not already done so. However, Appellant did not file a docketing statement.

This Court issued a second notice on September 13, 2005, advising Appellant that the docketing statement was past due. The notice also advised Appellant that the filing fee was due to have been paid on or before September 6, 2005, but had not been received. See Tex. R. App. P. 5. The notice further provided that unless the docketing statement and filing fee were filed on or before September 23, 2005, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Rule 42.3. The date for filing the docketing statement and the filing fee has passed, and Appellant has not complied with the Court s request. Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with Rules 5 and Rule 32.1, the appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

Opinion delivered September 30, 2005.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and DeVasto, J.
