                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant James Bertrand Broussard appeals the trial court’s order denying

his pro se request for expunction. Broussard failed to file a brief, and we informed

Broussard that the appeal would be submitted to the Court on the record alone. See

Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(2), 39.8. In addition, Broussard failed to remit the filing

fee for the appeal, and we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed

unless Broussard remitted the filing fee for the appeal. Broussard did not respond

to this Court’s notices.

                                         1
      Broussard is not entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R.

App. P. 20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for Broussard’s failure to pay

the filing fee for the appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See

Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
