       The filing fee in this case is past due. By postcard dated August 6, 2013, we notified

appellant the $175 filing fee was due. We directed appellant to remit the filing fee within ten

days and expressly cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the

appeal without further notice. Also by postcard dated August 6, 2013, we notified appellant that

the docketing statement had not been filed in this case. We directed appellant to file the

docketing statement within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so might result in

dismissal of his appeal. To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee, filed the docketing

statement, or otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b)(c).
