                               IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

                  TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

                                             TYLER, TEXAS

                                                            §   APPEAL FROM THE

                                                            §   COUNTY COURT AT LAW
A CHILD
                                                            §   CHEROKEE COUNTY, TEXAS

                                         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., July 2, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. On July 2, 2014, this
court sent a notice informing Appellant that he should file a docketing statement within ten days
if he had not already done so. Appellant did not file the docketing statement. Accordingly, on
July 15, 2014, this court issued another notice advising Appellant that the docketing statement
was past due. The notice further provided that unless the docketing statement was filed on or
before July 25, 2014, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Rule 42.3.
The deadline for filing the docketing statement has expired, and Appellant has not complied with
the court’s request. Because Appellant has failed to comply with Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure 5 and 32.1, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
Opinion delivered July 31, 2014.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
