                           Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
       The filing fee and docketing statement in this appeal are past due. By postcard

dated March 4, 2021, we notified appellant the $205 filing fee was due. We directed

appellant to remit the filing fee within ten days and expressly cautioned appellant

that failure to do so would result in dismissal of the appeal. Also by postcard dated

March 4, 2021, we notified appellant the docketing statement had not been filed in

this case.1 We directed appellant to file the docketing statement within ten days. We

cautioned appellant that failure to do so might result in dismissal of this appeal.

      Both the filing fee notice and the docketing statement notice were returned to the Court as
undeliverable. The clerk’s office attempted to contact appellant by telephone, but was unsuccessful.
      To date, appellant has not paid the filing fee, filed the docketing statement, or

otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.

      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5; 42.3(b)(c).
