                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed a final judgment on December 9, 2019. Appellant John

Robert Lovett Jr. filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On September 10,

2020, we notified the parties that the appellant’s brief was past due and had not been

filed. On September 24, 2020, we again notified the parties that the appellant’s brief

was past due and warned that the appeal would be submitted on the record alone if

the brief and a motion for extension of time were not filed by September 29, 2020,

and we warned that the cause would be submitted to the Court on the record alone

                                          1
and without briefs, which could result in dismissal for want of prosecution. See Tex.

R. App. P. 39.8. On September 30, 2020, we informed the parties that the appeal

would be submitted on the record alone on October 21, 2020.

      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.
