This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). The judgment in the instant case was signed on February 13, 2003. Thereafter, on February 18, 2003. Appellant filed a notice of appeal which failed to contain the information required by Rules 25.1(d)(2) and (e), i.e. the date of the order or judgment appealed from and a certificate of service showing service on all parties to the trial court's judgment.

On February 24, 2003, Appellant was notified pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.1 that the notice of appeal was defective for failure to comply with Rules 25.1(d)(2) and (e). He was further notified that unless he filed a corrected notice of appeal on or before March 26, 2003, the appeal would be referred to the court for dismissal. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

As of March 31, 2003, Appellant has not corrected his defective notice of appeal pursuant to this court's February 24 notice. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
