Because appellant Cindy R. Terry has failed to pay the filing fee for this appeal, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).

The Clerk of this Court received appellant's notice of appeal and the district clerk's record on March 12, 2001. Appellant attempted to file an affidavit of indigence, but she did not file it until after the notice of appeal was filed. Thus, the affidavit was invalid. See id. 20.1(c). By letter dated June 6, 2001, the Clerk of this Court informed appellant that her affidavit of indigence was invalid and that she must submit the filing fee by June 21, 2001 or her appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. Thus far, appellant has not filed the requested filing fee.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. See id. 42.3(b).
