MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

L.J. Dial, Jr. was convicted of interference with an emergency call and assault involving family violence. In each case, the trial court assessed punishment at 120 days' confinement in jail, probated for one year. Appellant, who is representing himself in these appeals, did not file a brief despite being warned that the failure to do so would result in the appeals being submitted without briefs.¹ See Lott v. State, 874 S.W.2d 687 (Tex.Crim.App. 1994); see also Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b). Absent briefs, no issues are before us. Finding no fundamental error, we affirm the trial court's judgments.

1 The Court had granted appellant several extensions of time to file his brief.
