DUSTIN BURGE, Appellant v. CHARLES CRABBE, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 128248
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court signed a judgment granting possession of the property at issue to the landlord, Charles Crabbe, after a jury trial in a forcible detainer case. Dustin Burge filed a notice of appeal. The brief of the appellant was due to be filed on or before December 7, 2015, but Burge did not file a brief. On December 9, 2015, we notified the parties that the brief had not been filed and warned the appellant that his failure to file a brief could result in a dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. On December 22, 2015, we notified the parties that the appeal would be submitted to the Court 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.
