FROM THE 181ST DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY;

NO. 89,925-B; HONORABLE JOHN BOARD, JUDGE

Before QUINN and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
	Following a bench trial and rendition of judgment in his favor, appellant Michael
Edmondson perfected this appeal against appellees Entrepreneur Media, Inc. and John
A. Mueller.  By letter dated May 17, 2004, this Court directed Edmondson to pay the
required filing fee of $125 within ten days before any further action could be taken in this
appeal, noting that failure to do so might result in dismissal.  Unless a party is excused
from paying a filing fee, the Clerk of this Court is required to collect filing fees set by statute
or the Supreme Court when an item is presented for filing.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5 and
12.1(b).  Although the filing of a notice of appeal invokes this Court's jurisdiction, if a party
fails to follow the prescribed rules of appellate procedure, the appeal may be dismissed. 
Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(b).  Thus, because the filing fee of $125 remains unpaid, we must
dismiss the appeal.
	Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure and with a notice from the Clerk requiring payment of the filing fee. 
Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
