On Appeal from the Justice Court, Precinct 1
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 9669SC

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appearing pro se, Patricia Powers filed a notice of appeal from interlocutory
orders of a justice court. In a civil case, an appeal to the Court of Appeals may be
taken “from a final judgment of the district or county court.” See Tex. Civ. Prac. &
Rem. Code Ann. § 51.012 (West 2015). We questioned our jurisdiction over this
attempted appeal. The appellant did not file a written response within the time
specified in the notice from the clerk.
1
Powers’s notice of appeal from the justice court does not invoke this Court’s
appellate jurisdiction. The appeal is subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction.
See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Furthermore, the appellant failed to comply with a
notice from the clerk requiring a response within a specified time. See Tex. R.
App. P. 42.3(c). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
