                     On Appeal from the 132nd District Court
                             Scurry County, Texas
                          Trial Court Cause No. 25832

                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
       Herminio Jaimes Salazar and Salvador Jaimes Salazar, Appellants, filed a
notice of appeal on February 16, 2023. When the appeal was docketed in this court
on that same date, the clerk of this court requested that Appellants remit the $205
filing fee to this court on or before February 23, 2023. We notified Appellants by
letters dated February 28, March 30, March 31, and April 17 that the filing fee and
the docketing statement were both past due. During a phone call on March 17,
Appellants’ counsel informed the clerk’s office of this court that he would get the
filing fee paid early the next week. Appellants’ counsel did not follow through. This
court ultimately directed Appellants to pay the $205 filing fee and to file their
docketing statement on or before April 7, 2023. In this court’s March 31 and
April 17 letters, we informed Appellants that the appeal would be subject to
dismissal if they failed to pay the filing fee. As of this date, we have not received
Appellants’ filing fee or their docketing statement.
      Because Appellants have failed to pay the required filing fee as directed by
this court, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5, 42.3.
