COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 2-08-155-CV
DAVID SCOT LYND APPELLANT
V.
LEA ALIENE COX APPELLEE
----------
FROM THE 367TH DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT
------------
On July 31, 2008, this court issued an order affirming the trial court’s order sustaining a contest to appellant’s affidavit of inability to pay because, after reviewing the record from the trial court’s hearing on the contest, we concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion because the evidence supported the trial court’s order sustaining the contest. Appellant subsequently filed a motion for rehearing that was denied without opinion on September 17, 2008. Also on September 17, 2008, we notified appellant, in accordance with rule of appellate procedure 42.3(c), that we would dismiss this appeal unless the $175 filing fee was paid on or before September 29, 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 the rules of appellate procedure and the Texas Supreme Court’s order of August 28, 2007, (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 . 43.4.
