See 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., October 14, 2010. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. On October 18, 2010, this court notified Appellant that he should file a docketing statement immediately if he had not already done so. By separate letter, also dated October 18, 2010, this court requested that Appellant pay his filing fee on or before October 28, 2010. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. Because Appellant did not pay his filing fee or file the docketing statement as requested in the October 18, 2010 letters, this court issued a second notice on October 29, 2010, advising Appellant that the filing fee and the docketing statement were past due. The notice further provided that unless the filing fee was paid and the docketing statement filed on or before November 8, 2010, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3. The November 8 deadline has passed, and Appellant has not complied with the court s request. Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with rules 5 and 32.1, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Opinion delivered November 17, 2010. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J. (PUBLISH)
