                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed a final judgment adjudicating parentage in this case on

April 8, 2022. Appellant Dalvan Lamar Manns filed a notice of appeal, but he has

failed to file a brief. On August 24, 2022, we notified the parties that the appellant’s

brief had not been filed and that the appeal would be submitted without briefs unless

we received appellant’s brief and a motion for extension within ten days, and we

warned appellant that the appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the

appeal was submitted without briefs. On September 20, 2022, we notified the parties

                                           1
that the appeal would be submitted to the Court on October 11, 2022, without briefs

and without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8.

      In the absence of a brief assigning error for appellate review, we dismiss the

appeal for want of prosecution. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
