                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. After appellant failed to respond to our inquiry

regarding the reporter’s record, we ordered the appeal submitted without a reporter’s record and

appellant’s brief to be filed by November 1, 2018. By postcard dated November 5, 2018, we

notified appellant the time for filing her brief had expired. We directed appellant to file a 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 nor otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of

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