TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN





NO. 03-96-00195-CV






In the Matter of J. M.






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 98TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. J-13,594, HONORABLE W. JEANNE MEURER, JUDGE PRESIDING





PER CURIAM


	Appellant filed a motion to dismiss the appeal.  We grant the motion.  Tex. R.
App. P. 59(a)(1).  We note that appellant perfected appeal by a "Notice of Appeal," which is not
a correct perfecting instrument in a civil case.  Although the appeal is dismissed before appellant
has substituted a correct perfecting instrument, inasmuch as he has not shown he is indigent, the
filing fee for the transcript remains due.
