MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 31, 2017, the trial court signed an order denying Robert Conway’s
unauthorized petition for release from his civil commitment, which requires that he
submit to treatment as a sexually violent predator. Robert Conway filed a notice of
appeal but failed to file a brief. On June 12, 2018, we notified the parties that the
brief had not been filed, and we warned the appellant that his failure to file a brief
could result in a dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. On July 2, 2018,
1
we notified the parties that the appeal would be submitted to the Court on July 23,
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.
