Because no request for findings of fact and conclusions of law or motion for new trial or to modify the judgment was filed, the notice of appeal was due September 4, 2018 or, with an extension motion, September 19, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1, 26.3. The notice of appeal was filed September 5, 2018, but without an extension motion. By letter dated September 17, 2018, we directed appellant to file, no later than September 27, 2018, an extension motion explaining why the notice of appeal had been filed late. See id. 10.5(b), 26.3(b). We cautioned appellant that the appeal could be dismissed without further notice if she failed to comply. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Brashear v. Victoria Gardens of McKinney, L.L.C.., 302 S.W.3d 542, 545 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.) (op. on reh’g) (timely filing of notice of appeal is jurisdictional). To date, however, she has not complied or otherwise corresponded with the Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP.
