JOSEPH ANTHONY BOYKINS                                                    APPELLANT

KIMBERLY LOREN BOYKINS                                                        APPELLEE

On November 27, 2002 and December 13, 2002, we notified appellant, in accordance with rule of appellate procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this appeal unless the $125 filing fee was paid. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). Appellant has not paid the $125 filing fee. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 12.1(b).

Because appellant has failed to comply with a requirement of the rules of appellate procedure and the Texas Supreme Court's order of July 21, 1998, ⁽²⁾ we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), 43.2(f).

Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
