                  MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1] AND JUDGMENT

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

On July 14, 2008, we sent appellant a second written notice, in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this appeal unless the $175 filing fee was paid by July 24, 2008.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).  Appellant has not paid the $175 filing fee.  See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 12.1(b).

Because appellant has failed to comply with a requirement of rule 42.3(c) and the Texas Supreme Court=s order of August 28, 2007,^[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. 43.4.
