WAYNE TURNER, ET AL., APPELLEES _________________________________ FROM THE 320TH DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY; NO. 86287-D; HONORABLE DON EMERSON, JUDGE _______________________________ Before JOHNSON, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ. MEMORANDUM OPINION1 Appellant filed his notice of appeal from the trial court s judgment that he take nothing in his suit against appellees. By letter dated April 3, 2003, the Court directed 1 Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(a). appellant s counsel to pay the required filing fee of $125 before any further action could be taken in this appeal and also requested that a docketing statement be filed as required by Rule 32.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The Court also notified appellant that failure to comply might result in dismissal pursuant to Rule 42.3(c). In response, appellant s counsel sent a letter indicating that appellant has relocated without notifying him of a forwarding address or any contact information. Counsel concludes that he will be unable to prosecute appellant s appeal and requests that this appeal be dismissed. Although the filing of the notice of appeal invoked the jurisdiction of this Court, if a party fails to follow the prescribed rules of appellate procedure, the appeal may be dismissed. Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(b). Thus, because the filing fee has not been paid and counsel indicates that appellant is unable to prosecute this appeal, we must dismiss. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). Don H. Reavis Justice 2
