MEMORANDUM OPINION

Curtis L. Johnson, a self-represented party, filed a notice of appeal from a final take-nothing judgment. The clerk’s record was filed on February 3, 2026, and the reporter’s record was filed on March 5, 2026. Upon receiving Appellant’s Brief, the Clerk of the Court notified Appellant that his brief does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1 and lacks the required certificate of service. We directed Appellant to file a compliant brief by April 24, 2026.

On June 4, 2026, we received another brief from Appellant. On August 18, 2026, we notified Appellant that the certificate of service on his Brief continues to be defective, and we warned Appellant that the Court will dismiss the appeal unless within 10 days we receive a compliant certificate of service pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.5(e) with proof that counsel for Appellee had been served a copy of the brief. As of this date, Appellant has not complied with the notice issued by the clerk. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
