                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed a final judgment on June 26, 2018. Joseph Allan

Edwards filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On November 8, 2018, we

notified the parties that the brief had not been filed and that the appeal would be

submitted without briefs unless we received the brief and motion for extension

within ten days. Our notice warned Edwards that his failure to file a brief could result

in a dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. On November 20, 2018, we
                                           1
notified the parties that the appeal would be submitted to the Court on December 11,

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.
