First District of Texas




NO. 01-07-00851-CV




JOHN LENTWORTH, Appellant



V.



TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, ET AL., Appellee




On Appeal from the 412th District Court

Brazoria County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 21785




MEMORANDUM OPINION



We previously issued an order directing appellant to file a response by April 19, 2009 demonstrating whether this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over his appeal. Appellant's response was filed on March 30, 2009. Appellant's response demonstrated that this Court granted his right to file an appeal based on indigence grounds. However, appellant's response failed to demonstrate that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over his appeal. Accordingly, his appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

The Clerk is directed to issue mandate within 10 days of the date of this opinion. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Keyes, and Higley.
