      Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Pedersen, III, and Justice Goldstein
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. After appellant failed to respond to

our inquiry regarding the reporter’s record, we ordered the appeal submitted without

a reporter’s record and for appellant’s brief to be filed by January 5, 2023. By

postcard dated January 20, 2023, we informed 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 this appeal without further notice. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). To date, appellant has not filed his brief or otherwise

corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
       Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8 (a)(1); 42.3(b),

(c).
