                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Thaddeus Denzell Williams, Appellant, filed a notice of appeal with the trial

court on April 4, 2018. Despite written notices from this Court and an opportunity

to cure, Appellant has neither established indigence nor paid the filing fee for the

appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1. We notified the parties that the appeal would be

dismissed unless the filing fee was paid. Appellant did not respond to the Court’s

notices.

      Appellant did not file a statement of inability to pay costs and has not shown

that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1.

                                         1
 
 
 

Furthermore, Appellant failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court

requiring a response within a specified time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c). There

being no satisfactory explanation for the 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.
