                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       By order dated August 10, 2018, the Court granted the parties’ motion to abate the appeal
to allow the trial court to sign an amended decree of divorce pursuant to their agreement. On
October 10, 2018, the Court received a supplemental clerk’s record containing the Amended Final
Decree of Divorce. By order dated October 18, 2018 the Court reinstated the appeal and instructed
appellant to file, by October 29, 2018, either a motion to dismiss the appeal or a letter explaining
why we should not dismiss the appeal as moot. We cautioned appellant that failure to comply may
result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not
responded. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n v.
Jones, 1 S.W.3d 83, 86 (Tex. 1999) (case becomes moot and court loses jurisdiction if controversy
between parties ceases to exist); TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
