MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Smith, Miskel, and Breedlove
Opinion by Justice Smith
On April 9, 2024, we sent a letter to the parties questioning our jurisdiction

because it appears appellant is appealing from an agreed judgment. We explained

that absent an allegation and proof of fraud, collusion, or misrepresentation, such a

judgment cannot be appealed. We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing

our jurisdictional concern no later than April 19, 2024. We expressly cautioned

appellant that failure to do so might result in the dismissal of the appeal without

further notice. To date, appellant has not filed a letter brief nor further corresponded

with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c).
