                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

       On January 24, 2013, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed

for want of prosecution unless arrangements were made for filing the record or the

appellant explained why additional time was needed to file the record. The appellant did

not respond to the Court’s notice. The appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence and

is not entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. There

being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the record, and there being no

                                            1
reasonable explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, the appeal is

dismissed for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
