                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 4, 2022, the trial court signed a judgment for possession in favor of

Tiffany Thorn in a forcible detained suit. Sarah Wisenbaker, Appellant, filed a notice

of appeal. The reporter’s record was filed on May 26, 2022, and the clerk’s record

was filed on June 17, 2022. The brief of the appellant was due on July 20, 2022.

      On August 2, 2022, we notified the parties that Appellant’s brief was past due.

We warned the parties that unless we received a brief and motion for extension of

time by August 12, 2022, the Court would submit the appeal on the record without

                                          1
a brief. We warned Appellant that the failure to file a brief could result in dismissal

of the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). Appellant

failed to file a brief. 1

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

appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

       APPEAL DISMISSED.
