                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 23, 2019, 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.

Appellant did not respond to the Court’s notice.

      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, the appeal is dismissed for


                                           1
want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b), 42.3. Costs are assessed against

the appellant.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
