MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Reichek, Nowell, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Nowell
Appellant’s brief in this appeal is overdue. After appellant failed to respond

to our inquiry regarding the reporter’s record, we ordered the appeal submitted

without the reporter’s record and for appellant’s brief to be filed by August 9, 2024.

By postcard dated August 13, 2024 we notified appellant his brief was overdue and

ordered him to file a brief within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to do

so would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). To date, appellant has not filed a brief nor otherwise

corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8 (a)(1); 42.3(b),

(c).
