AND JUDGMENT
 
                                              ------------
On August 24, 2005 and
September 9, 2005, 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.
