This is an appeal from a judgment signed October 15, 2008.  The notice of appeal was filed on November 7, 2008.  On December 2, 2008, the trial court sustained the contest to appellant=s affidavit to proceed without payment of costs.

After being given the requisite ten-days= notice that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant has not paid the filing fee in accordance with our order of December 18, 2008.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.  Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.  See Tex. R.
