                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
             Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Pedersen, III, and Garcia
                             Opinion by Justice Garcia
      Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. On July 10, 2023, we notified

appellant his brief was overdue and directed him to file his brief within ten days.

We cautioned appellant that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of the

appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(c). By orders

dated July 24, 2023, August 28, 2023, and September 14, 2023, we extended the

time for appellant to file his brief until October 2, 2023. On October 4, 2023, we

received but did not file a brief appellant tendered to the Court. The same day, we

notified appellant that the Court would not consider the late brief unless appellant

filed, within ten days, a motion for extension of time to file the brief.   To date,
appellant has not filed such a motion nor otherwise corresponded with the Court

regarding the status of the brief received on October 4, 2023.

      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See id. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(c).
