                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed a final decree of divorce on June 1, 2016. Ana

Carolina Zambrano filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On October 19,

2016, we notified the parties that the brief had not been filed and warned the

appellant that her failure to file a brief could result in a dismissal of the appeal for

want of prosecution. On November 21, 2016, we notified the parties that the appeal

would be submitted to the Court on December 12, 2016, without briefs and without

oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8.

                                           1
      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.
