                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed a final judgment on August 15, 2016. Marshall

Jackson Jr. filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On November 17,

2016, we notified the parties that the brief had not been filed and warned the

appellant that his failure to file a brief could result in a dismissal of the appeal for

want of prosecution. On December 6, 2016, we notified the parties that the appeal



                                           1
would be submitted to the Court on December 27, 2016, without briefs and without

oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8.

      In the absence of a brief assigning error for appellate review, we dismiss the

appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(b).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
