On July 21, 2009, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. Appellant did not respond to the notice and the filing fee has not been paid. K. Eric Bagwell has not filed an affidavit of indigence and has not asserted that he cannot afford to pay the filing fee. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
