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.

D.P. appealed an order affecting parents in a juvenile proceeding. D.P. has not filed an affidavit of indigence and has not asserted that she 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.
