On March 9, 2009, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless the appellant either proved arrangements had been made to pay the fee for the clerk's record or explained why additional time was needed for filing the clerk's record. On March 10, 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 either notice.

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, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
