                  Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. After appellant failed to respond to the Court’s

inquiry regarding the reporter’s record, we ordered the appeal submitted without a reporter’s

record and appellant’s brief to be filed by August 29, 2018. By postcard dated October 26, 2018,

we notified appellant the time for filing his brief had expired. We directed appellant to file a brief

and an extension motion within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to file a brief and an

extension motion would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date,

appellant has not filed his brief nor otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of

this appeal.
      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b), (c).
