THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 410th District Court Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 16-02-02059-CV ________________________________________________________________________ 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 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.
