                            THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Myers and Brown
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       John Weekley was convicted of robbery. The jury assessed punishment, enhanced by

two prior felony convictions, at twenty-five years’ imprisonment. This Court affirmed his

conviction on direct appeal. Weekley v. State, No. 05-10-01107-CR, 2013 WL 2316612 (Tex.

App.––Dallas May 28, 2013, pet. ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Appellant

filed a pro se motion for post-conviction DNA testing, which was denied by the trial court. On

June 9, 2015, the Court ordered appellant, who is representing himself on appeal, to file his brief

by July 20, 2015. We warned that failure to do so would result in submission of the appeal

without briefs and without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b); Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d
687 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994). To date, appellant has not filed a brief.
       Absent briefs, no issues are before us. Finding no fundamental error, we affirm the trial

court’s order denying appellant’s motion for post-conviction DNA testing.
