MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices FitzGerald, Lewis, and Brown Opinion by Justice FitzGerald

Appellant’s brief in this case is overdue. By postcard dated July 15, 2013, we notified appellant that the time for filing his brief had expired. We directed appellant to file both his brief and an extension motion with ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to file his brief and an extension motion would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice.

Appellant belatedly filed a motion for extension of time to file his brief. By order dated August 7, 2013, we ordered appellant to file his brief on or before September 6, 2013. On September 10, 2013, we ordered appellant to file his brief by September 20, 2013, and we warned him that the appeal would be dismissed if he did not comply. Appellant has not filed a brief or otherwise communicated with this Court since we issued our August 7, 2013 order.

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