                                           Before Justices Myers, Evans, and Brown
                                                   Opinion by Justice Evans
            Marian Bernard Ziolkowski was convicted of felony driving while intoxicated. See TEX.

PENAL CODE ANN. § 49.09(b)(2) (West 2014). Punishment, following the revocation of his

community supervision, was assessed at two years’ imprisonment. 1 The judgment revoking

community supervision reflects appellant represented himself. 2 Additionally, this Court adopted

the trial court’s findings that appellant neither filed an affidavit of indigence nor requested

appointment of appellate counsel. Because appellant neither requested nor paid for the reporter’s

record, we ordered the appeal submitted without that record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c). We

     1
        Appellant’s original community supervision was imposed on June 25, 1998. Several motions to revoke appellant’s community
supervision were filed, and the trial court continued appellant on supervision, modifying his conditions. The motion on which his supervision
was revoked was filed on May 21, 2008, and the warrant was issued on May 28, 2008, both within the ten-year supervision period. See TEX.
CODE CRIM. P. ANN. art. 42.12, § 21(e) (West Supp. 2014); Garcia v. State, 387 S.W.3d 20, 23 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012).
     2
         The clerk’s record contains appellant’s appeal bond.
ordered appellate to file his brief by February 17, 2015. When appellant did not file his brief by

March 12, 2015, we ordered him to file his brief by March 25, 2015, and warned that failure to

do so would result in submission of the appeal without briefs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b); Lott

v. State, 874 S.W.2d 687 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994). Appellant has not filed a brief, nor has he

communicated with the Court regarding the appeal.

       Absent briefs, no issues are before us. Finding no fundamental error, we affirm the trial

court’s judgment.
