MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Pedersen, III
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. After appellant failed to respond to

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

a reporter’s record and for appellant’s brief to be filed by March 30, 2024. By

postcard dated April 2, 2024, we informed appellant his brief was overdue and

directed appellant to file a brief within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure

to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). To date, appellant has not filed a brief nor otherwise

corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8 (a)(1); 42.3(b),
