misdemeanor offense of contributing to her child’s non-attendance at school. See TEX. EDUC.

appellant had waived the recording of the trial court proceedings. We ordered appellant, who is

representing herself in this appeal, to file her brief by March 31, 2014. We warned appellant that

if she did not file her brief by that date, we would, without further notice submit the appeal

without briefs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(4); Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App.

1994). Appellant did not file a brief, nor has she communicated with the Court regarding the

appeal. Absent briefs, no issues are before us. Finding no fundamental error, we affirm the trial

court’s judgment.
