The trial court signed a final decree of divorce on December 15, 2015.

Rosemarie Joyal filed a notice of appeal. The brief of the appellant was due to be filed on or before July 20, 2016, but Joyal did not file a brief.

On August 12, 2016, we notified the parties that the appeal would be

submitted to the Court 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.
