MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT

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

On March 1, 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, (footnote: 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).
