MEMORANDUM OPINION¹ AND JUDGMENT

------------

        On June 25, 2004 and July 20, 2004, 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. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). We mailed the letter to the address appellant provided in his notice of appeal. This correspondence, as well as other correspondence we have sent to appellant, has been returned as undeliverable.  Appellant has not paid the $125 filing fee.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 12.1(b).

        Because appellant has not provided us with any other address or means of contacting him, and 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.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d).
