MEMORANDUM OPINION¹ AND JUDGMENT

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

        On March 5, 2004 and March 30, 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.  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.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d).
