In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-13-00572-CV ________________ JAMES BERTRAND BROUSSARD, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. X-1407 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant James Bertrand Broussard appeals the trial court’s order denying his pro se request for expunction. Broussard failed to file a brief, and we informed Broussard that the appeal would be submitted to the Court on the record alone. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(2), 39.8. In addition, Broussard failed to remit the filing fee for the appeal, and we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless Broussard remitted the filing fee for the appeal. Broussard did not respond to this Court’s notices. 1 Broussard is not entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1. There being no satisfactory explanation for Broussard’s failure to pay the filing fee for the appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Submitted on March 31, 2014 Opinion Delivered April 10, 2014 Do Not Publish Before Kreger, Horton, and Johnson, JJ. 2
