App. P. 5 (allowing enforcement of rule); 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

Appellant Laryan Lewis has failed to timely file a brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a) (failure of appellant to file brief). After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal for failure to file a brief, appellant did not adequately respond. See Tex. R.
