The district court clerk’s record was due in this Court on June 9, 2015. The Travis County District Clerk notified this Court that it had not received payment for the record. If the clerk’s record is not filed because the appellant failed to pay, this Court may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless the appellant was entitled to proceed without payment of costs.1 An appellant who cannot pay the costs in an appellate court may proceed without payment if he files an affidavit of indigence.2 On June 10, 2015, we sent notice to appellant that the clerk’s record was overdue and that the appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution if appellant did not file an affidavit of indigence 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(b). 2 See id. R. 20.1(2). on or before June 22, 2015. To date, no affidavit of indigence or clerk’s record has been filed. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.3 __________________________________________ Bob Pemberton, Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and Field Dismissed for Want of Prosecution Filed: July 9, 2015 3 See id.
