Despite written notice from this Court and an opportunity to cure, to date, Appellants have neither established indigence nor paid the filing fee for the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 5, 20.1. We notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless the filing fee was paid. Appellants did not respond to the Court’s notice. 1 Appellants did not file a statement of inability to pay costs and have not shown that they are entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See id. 20.1. Furthermore, Appellants failed to comply with a notice from the Clerk of the Court requiring a response within a specified time. See id. 42.3(c). There being no satisfactory explanation for the failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3, 43.2(f). APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on April 24, 2024 Opinion Delivered April 25, 2024 Before Golemon, C.J., Johnson and Wright, JJ. 2
