                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On January 11, 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. We also notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the

appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. The appellant did not respond to the

Court’s notices. 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

                                          1
no 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.
