IN THE ESTATE OF JOSE SOTELLA FLORES, DECEASED _________________________________ FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF LUBBOCK COUNTY; NO. 95-779,794; HON. LARRY B. LADD, PRESIDING _______________________________ Before BOYD, C.J., QUINN and REAVIS, JJ.

Elodia Flores (appellant) attempts to perfect an appeal to this Court. By letter from this Court dated January 2, 2002, we informed her that the filing fee of $125.00 required to perfect this appeal was outstanding and that the failure to pay same could result in the dismissal of her case. To date, appellant has not paid the $125.00 filing fee as directed.

Nor has she provided us with evidence illustrating that she is entitled to proceed as a pauper.

Due to appellant’s failure to pay the filing fee, we dismiss the appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3 (c).
