                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Glen Allen Smith filed a notice of appeal from a post-answer default

judgment of the divorce decree but he failed to file a brief. On May 4, 2015, we

notified the parties that the brief had not been filed and warned the appellant that

his failure to file a brief could result in a dismissal of the appeal for want of

prosecution. On May 15, 2015, we notified the parties that the appeal would be

submitted to the Court without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8. In the

                                         1
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.
