       On April 8, 2013, after appellant failed to file his brief on the merits, we directed him to

file, within ten days, both the brief and a motion to extend time to file the brief. We warned

appellant that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P.

38.8(a)(1); see also id. 42.3(b). To date, appellant has neither filed the brief nor otherwise

communicated with the Court regarding the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id.

42.3(b).
