Because a corporation may only be represented by a licensed attorney, we directed ARB Holdings to file, no later than July 12, 2021, a notice of designation of counsel. See Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996) (per curiam). Although we cautioned ARB Holdings that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice, see id., no response has been filed. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
