         Appellant=s brief is overdue. By order dated August 13, 2012, we granted appellant’s motion

to extend time to file appellant’s brief, making appellant’s brief due by October 5, 2012. By postcard

dated December 12, 2012, we notified appellant the time for filing his brief had expired. We directed

appellant to file, within ten days, both appellant’s brief and an extension motion. We cautioned

appellant that failure to do so would result in dismissal of his appeal. To date, appellant has not filed

his brief, an extension motion, or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of his

brief.

         Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b)(c).
