  MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

            These appeals are 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 statements were due to have been filed at the time the appeals were perfected, i.e., January 9, 2006. See Tex. R. App. P. 32.1. On January 13, 2006, this Court notified Appellant that he should file a docketing statement in each appeal immediately if he had not already done so.

            Because Appellant did not file the docketing statements as requested in our January 13, 2006 letter, this Court issued a second notice on January 26, 2006 advising Appellant that the docketing statements were past due. The notice also advised Appellant that the filing fee in each appeal was due to have been paid on or before January 23, 2006, but had not been received. See Tex. R. App. P. 5. The notice further provided that unless the docketing statements and filing fees were filed on or before February 6, 2006, the appeals would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3. The dates for filing the docketing statements and the filing fees have passed, and Appellant has not complied with the Court’s request. Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with Rules 5 and 32.1, the appeals are dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

Opinion delivered February 8, 2006.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and DeVasto, J.
