NO. 2-08-216-CV
ROBIN W. EISENHAUER APPELLANT
V.
N. TXDOT TARRANT COUNTY AND APPELLEES
ORVAL HALL EXCAVATING LTD.
------------
FROM THE 96TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT
------------
On November 13, 2008, this court issued an order affirming the trial court’s order sustaining the contest to Appellant Robin W. Eisenhauer’s affidavit of indigence. In that order, we provided that Appellant’s failure to pay the required filing fee for an appeal of $175.00 on or before Monday November 24, 2008, would result in the dismissal of this case for want of prosecution. (footnote: 2) We have not received the filing fee.
On November 24, 2008, we received Appellant’s motion for rehearing of our November 13, 2008 order. Even though Appellant did not pay the required $10.00 filing fee for the motion, we have reviewed his motion for rehearing in the interest of justice, and it is DENIED.
Accordingly, because Appellant by failing to pay the required filing fee of $175.00 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: 3) we dismiss this appeal. (footnote: 4)
Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue. (footnote: 5)
