We notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the filing fee was paid. Appellant did not respond to the Court's notices. Appellant did not file a statement of inability to pay costs and has not shown that he is entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. 1 Furthermore, Appellant failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court requiring a response within a specified time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
