On October 31, 2007, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. By separate letter, 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.
Appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence on appeal and has not shown that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, and there being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the clerk's record, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
