                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

       On November 3, 2022, Timothy Abbott appealed from a final judgment in

Trial Cause Number 138,114. After perfecting his appeal, however, Abbott failed to

file a brief.

       On March 28, 2023, we notified the parties that Abbott had not filed a brief

and that his appeal would be submitted without briefs unless, by April 10, 2023, we

received a brief in his appeal together with a motion to extend the time he was

                                         1
allowed to file his brief. We also warned Abbott that his appeal could be dismissed

for want of prosecution if the appeal was submitted without briefs.

      On April 21, 2023, we notified the parties that the appeal would be submitted

without briefs and without oral argument on May 12, 2023. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8.

In the absence of a brief assigning error for our review, we dismiss Abbott’s appeal

for want of prosecution. See id. 38.8(a)(1); id. 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
