                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 20, 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. The 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



                                        1
failure to file the record, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. Tex. R.

App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
