Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, CHARLES A. KAUFMANN , perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 329th District Court of Wharton County, Texas, in cause number 34,638-S . The clerk's record was received on January 3, 2000 . Pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code 51.207(b)(1) and 51.941(a)(1), a filing fee in the amount of $125.00 is due upon the filing of an appeal. To date, appellant has failed to pay the filing fee. On February 18, 2000 , pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), notice was given to appellant that he was delinquent in remitting this filing fee and that, unless the filing fee was paid within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's notice, this appeal would be dismissed. To date, appellant has failed to respond to this Court's notice.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to comply with the rules, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
