MEMORANDUM OPINION¹

1 Tex.R.App.P. 47.4.

PER CURIAM

In this suit affecting the parent-child relationship, the trial court appointed Jeanette Mahoney and Demetria Salter as joint managing conservators of L.Z., a minor. Mahoney was appointed primary joint managing conservator, and Salter appealed.

The appeal was submitted on the clerk's record alone because the appellant was not entitled to a free reporter's record and failed to make payment arrangements for the reporter's record. See Tex.R.App.P. 37.3(a)(1),(c). On October 28, 2003, we notified the parties that the appeal would be advanced without oral argument. See Tex.R.App.P. 39.9. The appeal was submitted without briefs because the appellant failed to file her brief by the September 12, 2003, due date. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(2). The appellant did not request an extension of time to file the brief. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.6(d).

We have reviewed the record for fundamental error, and find none. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
