On January 9, 2009, 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. We also notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the appellant remitted the filing fee for the appeal. The appellant, Blanca Carrillo, did not respond to the Court's notices. The appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence and is not entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to file the record, and there being no reasonable explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Costs are assessed against the appellant.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
