DEAN WEST, CITY OF PASADENA, ET AL, Appellees

On Appeal from the 133rd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2001-51265

O P I N I O N

According to information provided by the district clerk, this is an appeal from a judgment signed on January 28, 2002. The notice of appeal was filed on February 27, 2002.

On May 13, 2002, the Court issued an order stating as follows:

This Court's records do not affirmatively show that appellant has paid the appellate filing fee of $125. See Tex. R. App. P. 5; Order Regarding Fees Charged in Civil Cases in the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals, Misc. Docket No. 98-9120 (Tex. July 21, 1998) Tex. Gov't Code Ann. 51.207(a) (Vernon Supp. 2000). Each party or parties filing a notice of appeal are required to pay the appellate filing fee. Unless within 15 days of the date of this Order appellant pays such filing fee to the Clerk of this Court, the appeal will be dismissed. See Finley v. J.C. Pace Ltd., 4 S.W.3d 319, 321-22 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 1999) (order); Negrini v. Smith, Nelson & Clement P.C., 998 S.W.2d 362, 363 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, no pet.).

On May 14, 2002, the Court notified appellants that unless within 15 days of the date of the notice they made arrangements to pay for the record and provided the Court with proof of payment, their appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction.

To date, appellants have not paid the filing fee or shown the Court that they have paid for the record or made arrangements to do so.

Accordingly, appellants' appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); 5; 42.3(b).
