MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT
------------
        On 
December 19, 2003, 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, 1998,2 
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.
