BRYANT DARREL WEBSTER APPELLANT

V.

RITA LYNN BURKS APPELLEE

----------

FROM THE 322ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

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

MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT

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

On May 18, 2009 and May 28, 2009, 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 June 8, 2009, we received a copy of appellant’s letter in which appellant stated that he was indigent.  On June 29, 2009, we notified appellant that the trial court had advised this court that appellant had not filed an affidavit of indigence in the trial court, and we instructed appellant to file an affidavit of indigence in the trial court by Monday, July 20, 2009, and inform us when he had done so.   See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(c), 42.3(c).  Appellant has not filed an affidavit of indigence, nor has he 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 this 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.
