MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Jose Luis Garcia, appealed a judgment entered by the County Court at
Law No. 7 of Hidalgo County, Texas. On April 16, 2012, the Clerk of this Court notified
appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 9.5(e). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(e). The Clerk directed appellant to file an
amended notice of appeal with the district clerk's office within 30 days from the date of
that notice. On July 9, 2012, the Clerk notified appellant that the defect had not been
corrected and warned appellant that the appeal would be dismissed if the defect was not
cured within ten days. Appellant has not responded to the notice from the Clerk or
corrected the defect.
An appellate court may dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to
comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified
time. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b),(c). The Court, having considered the documents on
file, and appellant’s failure to correct the defect, is of the opinion that the appeal should be
dismissed. See id. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of
prosecution and failure to comply with a notice from the Court. See id.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
20th day of August, 2012.
