On September 28, 2005, the trial court signed the order granting the State Office of Risk Management=s plea to the jurisdiction.  Cecilia K. Barber timely filed a notice of appeal.  However, Barber did not file an affidavit of inability to pay costs when she filed her notice of appeal pursuant to TEX.R.APP.P. 20.1.

Barber was directed to pay the required filing fee on or before November 9, 2005.  The appellate record was due to be filed in this court on or before November 2, 2005.  Neither the required filing fee nor the appellate record have been filed.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed.
