PER CURIAM

This pro se appeal is being dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). The judgment in the instant case was signed on October 24, 2002. Thereafter, on November 21, 2002, Appellant filed a notice of appeal which failed to contain the information required by Rule 25.1(e), i.e. a certificate of service showing service on all parties to the trial court's judgment.

On November 27, 2002, Appellant was notified pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.1 that the notice of appeal was defective for failure to comply with Rule 25.1(e). He was further notified that unless he filed a corrected notice of appeal on or before December 27, 2002, the appeal would be referred to the court for dismissal. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

As of December 31, 2002, Appellant has neither corrected his defective notice of appeal nor responded to this court's notice. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

Opinion delivered December 31, 2002.

Panel consisted of Gohmert, Jr., C.J., Worthen, J., and Griffith, J.
