                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 5, 2021, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed

unless the appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. Appellant did not respond.

      Previously, the trial court found that appellant is not entitled to proceed

without payment of costs. On February 22, 2021, this Court entered an order, in

which we concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by finding that

appellant failed to demonstrate his burden under Rule 145 and that appellant is able

to afford payment in installments. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145(f), (g); Tex. R. App. P.

                                          1
20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for

the appeal, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
