MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM This appeal is 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 statement was due to have been filed at the time the appeal was perfected, i.e., September 6, 2018. On September 7, 2018, this Court requested that Appellant file a docketing statement within ten days if he had not already done so. Appellant did not file the docketing statement as requested. On September 25, this Court issued a second notice advising Appellant that the docketing statement was past due. The notice further provided that unless the docketing statement was filed on or before October 5, the appeal would be presented for dismissal in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3. The date for filing the docketing statement has passed, and Appellant has not complied with the Court’s request. Because Appellant has failed, after notice, to comply with Rule 32.1, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Opinion delivered October 17, 2018. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
