MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Kennedy ⁽¹⁾

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Lone Star Meat Co., Inc. , perfected a restricted appeal from a judgment entered by the 332^nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-742-02-F . The clerk's record was received on February 24, 2003. Pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code §51.207(b)(1) and § 51.941(a)(1), a filing fee in the amount of $125.00 is due upon the filing of an appeal. To date, appellant has failed to pay the filing fee.

On March 12, 2003, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), notice was given to appellant that it was delinquent in remitting this filing fee and that, unless the filing fee was paid within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's notice, this appeal would be dismissed. To date, appellant has failed to respond to this Court's notice.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to comply with the rules, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
