                                      OPINION

                      Before Justices Lagarde, Kinkeade, and Wright
                               Opinion By Justice Lagarde

      David McBride, Jr. appeals his conviction for cruelty to animals. A jury found

appellant guilty of the offense and assessed punishment at 180 days' confinement, probated,
and a $1,000 fine.

       On October 2, 1998, we adopted the trial court's findings that (1) appellant has not

timely filed a brief, (2) appellant is not indigent, (3) appellant has not retained counsel, and
(4) appellant has failed to comply with the rules of appellate procedure. We concluded the

failure to file the reporter's record was due to appellant's fault and that appellant has

abandoned the appeal; therefore we ordered the appeal submitted without the reporter's

record and briefs. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c), 38.8(b)(4).

       Absent appellant's brief, no points of error are properly before the Court. Our

examination of the records does not reveal any fundamental error. Accordingly, we affirm

the trial court's judgment.
