MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Louis A. Olivarez, proceeding pro se, filed a document entitled “Right of
Notice and Appeal” in this Court on June 8, 2016. According to this pleading, the trial
court had dismissed his case on February 26, 2013 without providing notice to appellant.
Appellant requested this Court to grant reinstatement of the underlying cause. On June
9, 2016, the Clerk of this Court informed appellant that his pleading did not meet the
requirements for an original proceeding and, if the document were construed as a notice
of appeal, the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26, 52.
Appellant was advised that the matter would be dismissed if the defect was not corrected
within ten days from the date of receipt of the Court’s directive. On June 28, 2016,
appellant filed a response to this Court’s notice asserting that he had not filed any
pleadings with this Court and contending that this Court “has nothing to do with my civil
case at this time” and does not “have jurisdiction over this case.”
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file,
appellant’s response, and appellant’s failure to timely perfect his appeal, is of the opinion
that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is
hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
14th day of July, 2016.
