                       _______________________________

                               Memorandum Opinion
                         _______________________________

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

       Appellant Kristeen Quintanilla (Kristeen) filed a notice of appeal on May 7, 2003.

However, she did not pay the $125 filing fee required from appellants pursuant to Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 5. Nor did she file an affidavit pursuant to Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 20, which may have relieved her of her duty to pay the fee. By letter

from this Court dated May 9, 2003, we informed Kristeen that "[f]ailure to pay the filing fee

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). To date, the filing fee of $125 has not

been paid. Consequently, we dismiss the appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 42.3(c). Finally, our having disposed of the case as we do renders moot the
request by the Potter County Clerk’s office for an extension of time to file the clerk’s

record.
