                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                           Before Justices Lang, Evans, and Whitehill
                                  Opinion by Justice Whitehill
       Appellant’s brief is overdue. By postcard dated June 30, 2015, we notified appellant the

reporter’s record was filed, which in accordance with TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a) triggered the

briefing deadline. In response to the court’s notice, appellant notified the court on July 28, 2015

that he would provide an updated mailing address. No updated mailing address has been

received to date. By postcard dated August 10, 2015, we notified appellant, at his address of

record, the time for filing his brief had expired. We directed appellant to file both his brief and

an extension motion within 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. The

postcard was not returned as undeliverable.      To date, appellant has not filed his brief, an
extension motion, or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of his brief or

his updated mailing address.

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