                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         This appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. Pursuant to Rule 32.1, Appellant’s docketing statement
was due to have been filed at the time the appeal was perfected, i.e., January 30, 2017. On
January 31, 2017, this Court requested that Appellant file a docketing statement within ten days
if he had not already done so. Appellant did not file the docketing statement as requested.
         On February 15, this Court issued a second notice advising Appellant that the docketing
statement was past due. The notice further provided that unless the docketing statement was
filed on or before February 27, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3. The date for filing the docketing statement has passed,
and Appellant has not complied with the Court’s request.
         Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 32.1, the appeal is
dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
Opinion delivered March 1, 2017.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
