                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 9, 2018, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed

unless the fee had been paid for the clerk’s record. Appellant did not respond to this

Court’s notice. Appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence and is not entitled to

proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 145; see also Tex. R. App. P.

20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the clerk’s record,

we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R.

App. P. 42.3.
