MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Enrique Villa, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered
by the 267th District Court of De Witt, County, Texas, in cause no. 10-08-21,636. Upon
review of the documents before the Court, it appeared that there is no final, appealable
judgment. On November 25, 2014, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant of this defect
so that steps could be taken to correct this defect, if it could be done. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 37.1, 42.3. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days
from the date of receipt of the notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction. No response has been received from appellant.
In terms of appellate jurisdiction, appellate courts only have jurisdiction to review
final judgments and certain interlocutory orders identified by statute. Lehmann v. Har-
Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Because there is no final judgment or order
subject to appeal, the notice of appeal is premature. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, 27.1(a)
Appellant has not demonstrated that a written order has been signed.
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3(a)(c).
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
22nd day of January, 2015.
