       Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. By postcard dated July 21, 2017, we notified

appellant the time for filing his brief had expired. We directed appellant to file his brief and an

extension motion within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to file a brief and an

extension motion would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date,

appellant has not filed a brief, filed an extension motion, or 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).
