                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 11, 2016, we notified the parties that the appeal would be

dismissed for want of prosecution unless appellant remitted the filing fee for the

appeal. By separate letter on the same date, we also notified the parties that the

appeal would be dismissed 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 notices. The appellant also 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

                                         1
failure to file the record, and there being no reasonable 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. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Costs are assessed against the

appellant.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
