NO. 07-02-0127-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL B AUGUST 20, 2002 ______________________________

IN THE INTEREST OF TARRA ADAMS, TANEIKA ADAMS, THOMAS ADAMS AND MISTI ADAMS, CHILDREN _________________________________ FROM THE 99TH DISTRICT COURT OF LUBBOCK COUNTY; NO. 2000-511,605; HONORABLE MACKEY HANCOCK, JUDGE _______________________________ Before BOYD, C.J., and QUINN and JOHNSON, JJ.

The rights of appellant Kayla Adams Harkness to her minor children were terminated by order of the trial court dated March 6, 2002. She timely filed a notice of appeal from that order on March 14, 2002.

The clerk’s record has since been filed in this matter. Nevertheless, the filing fee has never been paid, even though no affidavit of indigence has been filed and the court reporter’s record has not been received. Appellant was notified by letter dated March 18, 2002, that failure to pay the filing fee could result in dismissal of the appeal. By letter dated August 2, 2002, we notified appellant again that the filing fee had not been paid and the reporter’s record had never been filed, and she had ten days from the date of the letter to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. No response to that letter has been provided.

Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed.
