On Appeal from the 422nd Judicial District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 109355-422

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Pedersen, III, and Justice Carlyle
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
On May 7, 2024, we sent a letter to the parties questioning our jurisdiction

over this appeal because this Court lacks jurisdiction over the direct appeal of a

contempt order. We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our

jurisdictional concern no later than May 20, 2024. We expressly cautioned appellant

that failure to do so might result in the dismissal of the appeal without further notice.

To date, appellant has not filed a letter brief nor further corresponded with the Court

regarding the status of this appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
