                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed a final judgment on June 20, 2017. Llwellyan L. O’Neal

filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On November 27, 2017, we notified

the parties that the brief had not been filed, and we warned the appellant that his

failure to file a brief could result in a dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution.

On December 11, 2017, we notified the parties that the appeal would be submitted

to the Court on January 2, 2018, 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.
