The trial court signed a final judgment on January 11, 2018. Norman Reed filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On August 7, 2018, we granted an extension of time to file the brief of the appellant with the notation that it was a final extension. On September 11, 2018, we notified the parties that the brief had not been filed and that the appeal would be submitted without briefs unless we received the brief and motion for extension within ten days. On September 24, 2018, we notified

2

the parties that the appeal would be submitted to the Court on October 15, 2018, without briefs and without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8.

In the absence of a brief assigning error for appellate review, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
