             FROM THE 364th DISTRICT COURT OF LUBBOCK COUNTY;

                      ________________________________

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         ___________________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.

       Appellant A. G., Jr. filed a notice of appeal on December 30, 2005. However, he

did not pay the $125 filing fee required from appellants under Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 5. Nor did he file an affidavit of indigence per Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 20.1. By letter from this Court dated January 3, 2006, we informed appellant

that “the filing fee in the amount of $125.00 has not been paid. Failure to pay the filing fee

within ten (10) days from the date of this notice may result in a dismissal.” TEX . R. APP. P.

42.3(c); see Holt v. F. F. Enterprises, 990 S.W.2d 756 (Tex. App.--Amarillo 1998, pet.

ref’d). The deadline lapsed, and the fee was not received.
      Because appellant failed to pay the requisite filing fee as directed by the court, we

dismiss the appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c).
